If you’ve been looking for a house and wondering if now is the right time to buy, the answer is, from a financial perspective, a resounding yes! This is the best buying opportunity we have seen in years!

I’m not going to say that interest rates have hit a bottom, but what I am going to say is that this is the best buying environment that we’ve seen in at least 2 years, and it’s not at all too much higher than the best buying environment in recorded history.  We got roughly 45 basis points lower than this during the peak fears over Brexit, but other than a 18 month or so period a while back rates have never been this low.

When we started the year the wizards of smart predicted that interest rates were going up, up up.  The trend was definitely up as rates have been creeping upwards for some time and did so throughout almost all of 2018, but since then we’ve had a reversal.

What does a lower interest rate mean to you dear buyer?  It means, the house you are looking at buying is on sale.  It’s always nice to buy when a house is on sale.  It’s on sale right now!

Another reason now marks a good time to buy a house is that with the summer season upon us inventory is about as good as it’s likely going to get.  So, you have people selling their houses during the summer selling season. You have the markets giving you a green light to buy with interest rates that are much better than expected, now is a great time to buy a house.
