Full Disclosure: This is my opinion. I think I have some credentials to comment on this subject. But, of course, I could be wrong.
I don’t think WAITING ON HOME PRICES TO DROP would be a wise decision. At least not here in Colorado (specifically Douglas County). We have a very low supply of homes. Demand is strong. Most homes are selling within a few days. And, there is no indication that sales are going to slow down.
But, here’s the real deal. Consider this. We have high demand with interest rates of 6% plus. What do you really think is going to happen when rates fall? Prices will spike. So, now is the time to buy, if you’re in the market and find a home that you love. When rates fall (and they will), simply refinance.
Waiting is a BIG MISTAKE. Act now. This market will explode in the future. Wouldn’t you like to already be a homeowner when prices go through the roof, again.
