Follow on Google News | The Tax Credit is Fueling the Dallas Area Pre-Owned Home SalesTo quote Gary Keller, “you will never know that you were at the bottom of the market until it is on the way up.”
By: Mary Beth Harrison Buyer who choose to wait “until prices come down more” are also gambling that interest rates will hold steady or drop. What is not widely understood is the impact interest rates can have on the real monthly costs of homeownership. Even a 10 percent drop in home prices is immediately nullified by a mere 1 percentage point increase in interest rates on a 30 year mortgage loan. By the way, this relationship between interest rates and home pricing remains essentially the same at any price point. Reference figure 47 Even a slight increase in mortgage interest rates can offset a significant drop in home prices. There is little to gain in this scenario and much to lose if home prices rebound or rates jump. You want your buyers to avoid trying to time the market. Not only does it almost never work, but it certainly can’t be done from the sidelines. They have to be in the market to take advantage of the market.
