Is NOW a Good Time to Buy a Home? Maybe Not! Here’s Why…
We get asked this all the time: "Should I buy a home right now?" And guess what? The answer isn’t always YES. 🤯
Today I’m sharing FOUR reasons why you might want to hold off on buying a home. 👇
🏡 1. Job Uncertainty – If a career change is on the horizon or your income isn’t stable, securing a mortgage might be tricky. Having a steady job is key!
💰 2. Financial Readiness – If you’re low on savings or your credit score needs some TLC, it’s smart to wait. A solid down payment and good credit can make a huge difference! Need a lender recommendation? We’ve got you covered!
📈 3. Market Affordability – If today’s home prices would stretch you too thin financially (aka house poor 😬), it might be best to hold off and explore options that fit your budget.
⏳ 4. Short-Term Plans – If you’re only in town for a couple of years, you may not build enough equity to make buying worthwhile. Tulsa homes appreciate about 4-5% per year, but that may not be enough if you’re planning to move soon.
Buying a home is a BIG decision, and our job is to help you make the SMART choice. Whether you’re ready now or need some time, let’s chat! We’ll walk you through your options with honesty and expertise. 👏
Are you thinking about buying soon, or are you waiting for the right time? Let’s talk! 👇
