Waiting for rates to hit 6%? Read this first.
Everyone's hoping for a buyer's market. That's not what lower rates bring.
When rates drop, the winners are the people who already own. They refinance, pull cash out of their equity, or sell while demand is hot. Buyers just get more people bidding on the same homes.
Let that sink in. Lower rates don't make homes cheaper. They bring more buyers off the sidelines, and owners cash in. The deal you were waiting for shows up as a bidding war.
That's why waiting isn't a plan. Every month on the sidelines isn't saving you money. It's moving you further back in line, and the people at the front already own a home.
Stop trying to time the rate. Focus on owning before rates fall. When they do, the best position to be in is already having the keys.
Because when rates fall, you may not be the only buyer jumping back into the market. More buyers can mean more competition, multiple offers, fewer negotiating opportunities, and potentially higher prices.
Here's the real question:
Would you rather negotiate on a home today or potentially compete against more buyers tomorrow?
