Putting off buying a home? Maybe you're waiting for a crash to get a better deal – or afraid you'll buy now and watch your home's value fall later. Either way, the widespread drop you're bracing for may not be coming. Yes, a few markets are seeing mild declines. But more than 100 economists and housing experts expect home prices will actually rise nationally over the next five years – not fall. And waiting for a deal that never comes could mean passing up the chance to gain thousands in equity or paying more in a few years for the same home. So before you decide to wait, let's talk about your options and what prices are really doing in our area. #HomePrices #HousingMarketForecasts https://mpaterealty.net/

A lot of people who want to move are telling themselves the same thing: "Maybe I'll just wait until later this year." But before you decide, make sure you understand what you could be giving up too. Because moving this Summer does have its advantages. For buyers, it could give you more options in your price point. Historically, there are over 30% more fresh listings in the Summer compared to the rest of the year. For sellers, it can mean a better sales price. Data shows, on average homes sell for 4% more in the typical Summer month compared to usual month in the Fall or Winter (when demand typically falls off). The point isn't to rush into anything. It's just to make sure you have the full picture before deciding whether waiting is really your best move. DM me if you want to talk through your options. No pressure, just perspective based on years of experience. #SummerMove #HousingMarketInsights https://mpaterealty.net/
