It’s important to understand that it has historically never been cheaper to borrow money, aka finance a home loan. Yes, prices are higher than they were 20 years ago, HOWEVER, rates were in double-digits. ⁣
⁣
Spoiler alert: it’s cheaper to buy now than it is to wait, and experts don’t anticipate values to drop, they just won’t appreciate in double-digits as they have in recent years. ⁣
⁣
Don’t get caught in the rental trap β€” monthly rents are keeping on track with demand as purchase supply is not on pace with buyer demand, causing prospective buyers to renew lease terms and get stuck into lengthy lease agreements. ⁣
