Here are some things we cover in this video. All of these topics will get you one step closer to find your dream home in 2024:
- Interest Rates
- Pricing
- Inventory Levels
In 2024, these are the main influences that will affect your buying decisions. Interest rates have been on a downward trend and will likely continue this year landing where they will eventually settle at the 5-6% range. Inventory, however is still expected to be very low due to homeowners who locked in sub 3% rates and are not looking to give that up. This will keep prices high which means lower interest rates won’t translate into lower housing prices. The other thing to note is that if you wait for interest rates to decrease, you will be joining millions of potential home buyers that are waiting for the same thing, thus increasing your competition (and therefore the price of the home) and decreasing your chances of finding the perfect home for you. Acting now would save you from entering into expensive and unnecessary bidding wars – inventory is already low and not expected to increase any time soon. It will get worse as soon as interest rates go down and more buyers enter the market.
