I know what you’re thinking — “Buy a home during the holidays? Really?”
Yep. Really.
Here’s the thing: interest rates have finally dipped back into a pretty comfortable range — around 5.75% to 6.25%. No, we’re not going to see 3s or 4s again (and that’s okay!). These are healthy, sustainable rates that make a lot more sense in today’s market.
We’re also seeing plenty of homes to choose from, which hasn’t been the case for a while. And in many areas, prices have softened a bit — giving buyers some real breathing room.
Meanwhile, a lot of folks hit “pause” on their home search this time of year. They figure they’ll wait until spring when it’s more convenient. But that means you’ll be competing with everyone else come March and April. Right now? You’ve got less competition and more negotiating power.
If you’ve been on the fence, this is your window. You can shop with less pressure, take your time, and maybe snag a great deal before the rush starts again.
And if you want to talk through what’s happening in your price range or area — I’m happy to help you run the numbers and see what’s possible.
Call, email or text me to start your home search before the spring rush.
