Should I Buy a Home Right Now?🤔

July 13, 2022 By Chuncey Foreman

Should I Buy a Home Right Now? | Simplifying The Market

If you’ve been thinking about buying a home, you likely have one question on the top of your mind: should I believe right now, or should I wait? While no one can answer that question, here’s some information that could help you decide.

The Future of Home Price Appreciation

Each quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a nationwide panel of over 100 economists, real estate experts, and investment and market strategists to compile projections for the future of home price appreciation. The output is the Home Price Expectation Survey. In the latest release, it forecasts home prices will continue appreciating over the next five years (see graph below):

As the graph shows, the appreciation rate will moderate over the next few years as the market shifts away from the unsustainable pace it saw during the pandemic. However, after this year, experts project home price appreciation will continue but at more typical levels for the market. As Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), says: 

“People should not anticipate another double-digit price appreciation. Those days are over. . . . We may return to more normal price appreciation of 4%, 5% a year.”

For you, that ongoing appreciation should give you peace of mind your investment in homeownership is worthwhile because you’re buying an asset that’s projected to grow in value in the years ahead.

What Does That Mean for You?

To give you an idea of how this could impact your net worth, here’s how a typical home could grow in value over the next few years using the expert price appreciation projections from the Pulsenomics survey mentioned above (see graph below):

As the graph conveys, even at a more typical pace of appreciation, you still stand to make significant equity gains as your home grows in value. That’s what’s at stake if you delay your plans.

Bottom Line

If you’re ready to become a homeowner, know that buying today can set you up for long-term success as your asset’s value (and your net worth) is projected to grow with the ongoing home price appreciation. So let’s connect to begin your home buying process today.
