You’ve probably heard someone say, “The best time to buy a home was yesterday. The next best time? Today.”
It sounds cheesy... but guess what? It’s TRUE.
Buying a home is about playing the long game — not trying to hit some "perfect moment" where prices magically drop and rates are dreamy. Spoiler alert: that unicorn moment? It rarely shows up.
Here’s what a lot of people don’t realize:
The longer you wait, the more buying a home could cost you. And you deserve to know why.
Experts (think over 100 serious housing pros who eat market trends for breakfast) are all saying the same thing: home prices are projected to keep rising through at least 2029.
Not crazy jumps like we saw during the frenzy years — but a good, solid, healthy 3-4% each year. Slow and steady wins the race... and builds your wealth.
Even if your local market cools off here and there, over time, homeowners almost always come out ahead.
Translation:
- Next year's homes will cost more than this year's.
- Waiting for the perfect mortgage rate or a big price dip? It could actually cost you more in the long-term
- Buying now = building equity sooner = Future You will be doing a happy dance.
Let’s break it down with some real numbers:
Buy a $400,000 home in 2025. By 2030? That home could be worth nearly $80,000 MORE. That's not just a win — that's a major wealth builder.
Bottom line?
It’s not about timing the market. It’s about TIME IN the market.
