Navigating the question of whether to buy now or wait until fall is a classic challenge for homebuyers, especially in a market where mortgage rates have reached a one-year high of 6.66%, and average home prices are up 1.8% to $440,600. With housing supply currently at 4.6 months, each option brings its own set of considerations. Buying now can offer greater home security as prices rise modestly, while waiting might open up opportunities for lower prices and less competition. My approach—shaped by years of real estate experience and a background in Fortune 100 leadership—is to break down these market realities and help you weigh the trade-offs. Leveraging technology and real-time data from Redfin’s high-volume team, I strive to ensure you’re equipped with the knowledge to make decisions that align with your goals, whether you’re a first-time buyer or seasoned investor. Understanding the nuances of this market empowers you to move forward with confidence, whatever your timeline.
