Historically, the beginning of October has been the best opportunity for home buyers throughout the entire year. So, if haunted houses are not the thing that gets you excited, maybe a great deal on buying a new home will.

Many potential home buyers end up self-selecting themselves out of the home buying process long before they ever hear a lender say no.

It might shock you, but the reality is that you don’t need perfect credit to get a mortgage.

The bottom line is that any home buyer expecting a discount by waiting to buy a home will probably be sorely disappointed. Home prices will probably rise and so will mortgage rates. So, not only will you pay more for a home, but you will also be charged more to finance the purchase.

The Biden administration is correct that there is a lack of affordable housing in our nation. While it would be fantastic if the supply of affordable housing were to increase in the near future, renters should not wait for that to happen to plan for buying a home. Even though home prices are high, low mortgage rates make buying a home more affordable than continuing to rent in most places.

Because we are so used to getting what we want when we want it, it can be frustrating to have to wait. However, the old adage that the best things come to those who wait is true in some instances. That is the case when it comes to buying a home. For home buyers, patience and persistence pay off.

In spite of home prices, it is far better to be making mortgage payments than rent payments.

For home buyers, rising home prices have made their journey to buy their dream home rather difficult.
