Should I Buy Now or Wait Until Next Year?

That is the question of the day, and here are some considerations that might influence your answer. 

Some Highlights:

• The Cost of Waiting to Buy is defined as the additional funds it would take to buy a home if prices & interest rates were to increase over a period of time.
• Freddie Mac predicts interest rates to rise to 4.8% by next year.
• CoreLogic predicts home prices to appreciate by 5.3% over the next 12 months.
• If you are ready and willing to buy your dream home, find out if you are able to! There may not be a better time for you than now…

Look at the grahic above, and then calculate YOUR cost. Remember that while the national average increase in home prices is projected at 5.3%, the values of homes in North Kitsap have been rising at an even greater rate (20% in Poulsbo in the past 12 months alone!).
