A study shows that 70% of prospective buyers fear the long-term consequences of renting. And here’s why.
Rent usually rises over time and that can make it harder to save up to buy a home. But when you buy, you can stabilize your housing expenses and grow your net worth as home values rise.
While renting may be the less expensive option in some markets, it can’t match the long-term benefits of homeownership. What’s your #1 reason for wanting to buy?

With more homes for sale and buyers being more selective, it’s smart to make strategic updates. But how do you decide what’s worth doing? You lean on an agent.

What projects are on your to-do list before selling? With only a month left before spring, connect with a local agent so you know what’s worth the time and effort.

Some Highlights
Are you torn between whether to buy a home now or wait? Consider this.
Forecasts show prices will climb for at least the next 5 years. If you wait, the price of a home will be higher later on. But, if you buy a $400K now, you could gain roughly $83K in equity as prices rise.
If you’re able to buy now, this equity is one reason why it’ll be worth it in the long run. Connect with an agent if you’re ready to talk through ways we can make it happen.

Experts say rates will come down slightly in the year ahead – but some volatility is expected. So, you shouldn’t try to time the market.
Instead, it’s better to focus on how even a small change impacts your future mortgage payment. As rates come down, even a little bit, your monthly payment on your next home will too.
