Should I Wait For A Better Price?
Forecasts Say Prices Will Keep Climbing
Each quarter, over 100 housing market experts weigh in for the Home Price Expectations Survey from Fannie Mae, and they consistently agree on one thing: nationally, home prices are expected to rise through at least 2029.
Yes, the sharp price increases are behind us, but experts project a steady, healthy, and sustainable increase of 3-4% per year going forward. And while this will vary by local market from year to year, the good news is, this is a much more normal pace – a welcome sign for the housing market and hopeful buyers (see graph below):
And even in markets experiencing more modest price growth or slight short-term declines, the long game of homeownership wins over time.
So, here’s what to keep in mind:
- Next year’s home prices will be higher than this year’s. The longer you wait, the more the purchase price will go up.
- Waiting for the perfect mortgage rate or a price drop may backfire. Even if rates dip slightly, projected home price growth could still make waiting more expensive overall.
- Buying now means building equity sooner. When you play the long game of homeownership, your equity rewards you over time.
