Is NOW A Good Time To Buy A Home?


NO.  It’s not.

Here’s why.

The majority of people are waiting for the shoe to drop, the bottom to fall and prices to be “affordable” again.

Got it.

If that’s you, keep waiting.

Here’s the problem with that.

The majority is usually wrong.

People, in a group, are not as smart as a rational individual.

You are an individual.

I’m not saying TODAY is a good time to buy a home.  Far from it.

I am saying if you plan on purchasing, living in your home for years and can stomach market fluctuations – now is a good time to stay very close to the market (6-12 months out).

I specifically mean a Mortgage pre-approval and dedicated Real Estate team helping you make sense of everything.

Here is something to think about …

I would like to share with you a concept called the “critical counter intuitive“.

At critical times, DOING THE OPPOSITE of the majority can pay huge dividends.

For example, selling in a market when everyone is buying.

Here’s another, buying in a market when everyone is scared to.

And another …buying when things are low.  Selling when they are high.

This is usually the OPPOSITE of what the majority does.  Really think about it.

If you are planning to purchase a home, I would like to speak with you about arranging your Mortgage financing.

Here’s why.

Nobody is talking about increasing interest rates.  The majority is focused in rates TODAY.

The critical counter intuitive is to think about interest rates in the future – at what may be significantly higher numbers.

Ask your parents what they paid for their Mortgage only one generation ago for perspective.

Intuitively you think going to your Bank is a “safe” place.

That’s what the majority think.  Is it possible they are wrong?
