As winter moves in and temperatures are cooling down, you may expect the housing market to do the same. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Now is a great time to buy your dream home in Greenwood. Here are four reasons why you should consider acting now rather than waiting for spring!
1. Prices Will Continue to Rise
The very lowest home prices have come and gone. Home values are expected to appreciate at a rate of 5.2% over the next year. Waiting longer to buy your dream home doesn't make sense.
2. Mortgage Interest Rates are Projected to Increase
An increase in rates will impact your monthly mortgage payment. Many professionals expect rates to increase by this time next year, raising your housing expense if a mortgage is necessary to buy your next home.
3. Either Way You're Paying a Mortgage
You are either paying your own mortgage or your landlord's mortgage. As a homeowner, paying your mortgage can build equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you are contributing to your landlord's equity. Why not put your housing cost to work for you?
4. It's Time to Move on With Your Life
Home prices and mortgage rates are both on the rise. But if they weren't, would you wait to buy your dream home? Consider the reasons you are looking to buy and decide if it is worth waiting. Wether you want to have the perfect place to raise your children, you want a safer place for your family, or you just want to have control over renovations, now may be the best time for you to buy.
