Buying a home in any market is a huge decision. Since homes represent the largest single purchase most people will make in their lifetime, we know how important it is for our buyers to feel confident they're buying at the ideal time. With that being said, is there really ever a perfect time to buy?
A recent Forbes article stated, "Trying to predict what might happen next year is not the best homebuying strategy. 'Buyers sitting on the sidelines today in anticipation of lower prices tomorrow may end up disappointed,' says Neda Navab, president of the U.S. region at Compass, a real estate tech company. Navab expects home prices in the hotter markets during the past few years to decrease somewhat, but she doesn’t expect a widespread, national price decline like what followed the 2008 financial crisis. Instead of waiting for much lower prices, experts suggest buying a home based on your budget and needs. If you find a home you love in an area you love, and it also fits your budget, then chances are it might be right for you."
