Waiting for a “Better Market”? Read This First.

“I’m just going to wait until the market gets better.”


Totally fair… but here’s the question: better for who?


A “better” market usually means one of two things:


  1. Rates drop — but prices (and competition) go up

  2. Prices drop — usually when rates are higher, or inventory tightens again


Here’s the reality I’m seeing:

  • Buyers who waited in 2022 wish they bought then

  • Buyers who waited in 2023 wish they bought in early 2024

  • And buyers who closed this spring? They’re watching values rise already


You can’t time the market. But you can beat it with strategy:

✅ Seller credits to lower closing costs

✅ Temporary buydowns to ease payments

✅ Low-down-payment options for flexibility

✅ Refinance plans when rates improve


The best time to buy wasn’t last year. It’s when you’re financially ready and have a smart plan.

Let’s make that plan today.
