Why Waiting Isn’t Always the Best Strategy

In any market, there are benefits and trade-offs. For instance:

Lower home prices often come with higher interest rates, which can affect your monthly payment.
Lower rates can mean more competition and higher prices.

Instead of trying to time the market, focus on what works for your situation. With today’s affordability challenges, the right strategy can help you navigate these factors and make a move that aligns with your goals.
