Did you miss the bottom of the market?

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty Executives Brio

The bottom of the market: That specific time that the prices are the lowest so you can buy the most house for the money.  That's all fine ...

Last week the interest rates increased more than 3/4 of a point.  That's huge.  Do the math.  A $400,000 loan at 4.75% increases to 5.75% and it cost you $8,100 over 5 years.  The tough part is this;  If you qualified to the limit at 4.75% for the $400,000 ... with the increase to 5.50% you can only purchase about $365,000.

So the market may have come down but the increase in interest rates has more than washed that away.  The home you can buy may be of lesser quality that those you could buy 2 weeks ago.
