Lately, a lot of people have been asking, “Should I buy a home now or wait?” 

I say that you should buy now. Why? 

Interest rates are starting to increase. Back in December, rates were right around 4%; now, rates are starting to creep up to 4.5%.

As a homebuyer, every 0.5% increase in interest rates decreases your purchasing power by about $25,000. As you can see, it is definitely more advantageous to buy now rather than later. 

It’s more advantageous to jump into the market now.
