Don’t Wait Until Next Year to Buy a Home!
Thinking of waiting until next year for lower interest rates? Find out why buying now might be the better option.

For instance, higher rates may slow the housing market, reducing competition, and enticing sellers to either negotiate on price or contribute to the buyer’s closing costs including a rate buydown.
