Should You Still Buy a Home with the Latest News About Inflation?

While the Federal Reserve is working hard to bring down inflation, the latest data shows the inflation rate is still high, remaining around 8%. This news impacted the stock market and added fuel to the fire for conversations about a recession.

You’re likely feeling the impact in your day-to-day life as you watch the cost of goods and services climb. The pinch it’s creating on your wallet and the looming economic uncertainty may leave you wondering: “should I still buy a home right now?” If that question is top of mind for you, here’s what you need to know.

Homeownership Is Historically a Great Hedge Against Inflation

In an inflationary economy, prices rise across the board. Historically, homeownership is a great hedge against those rising costs because you can lock in what’s likely your largest monthly payment (your mortgage) for the duration of your loan. That helps stabilize some of your monthly expenses. READ MORE


Should I buy a house now, or wait?


Buy now, or wait? That’s the question prospective homeowners are struggling to answer in today’s housing market, where home prices have skyrocketed and mortgage rates have surged to a 14-year high. Many would-be buyers are leaning toward the “wait” side of that equation. In fact, 73 percent of consumers believe it is a bad time to buy a home, according to September’s Fannie Mae Home Purchase Sentiment Index, a monthly survey gauging consumer thoughts on the real estate market.

However, there are signals that the seller’s market is beginning to tilt in the opposite direction. A recent report from Redfin shows that the available housing inventory in the U.S. increased to 2.9 months of supply in mid-September — a one-month gain versus a year prior and a signal that homebuyers will have more options to consider if they’re willing to lock in a higher mortgage rate. Plus, more sellers have been lowering their asking prices as they work to attract nervous buyers.

So, is it time to enter the market to buy a home? Or is it better to wait on the sidelines in the hopes that prices or rates drop over the next year? The decision comes down to your finances. Here are some key considerations to help determine the way forward. READ MORE
