Over the past year or so, a lot of people have been talking about how tough it is to buy a home. And while there’s no arguing affordability is still tight, there are signs it’s starting to get a bit better and may improve even more throughout the year.
1. Mortgage Rates
Despite the recent volatility, rates are still lower than they were last fall when they reached nearly 8%. On top of that, most experts still think they’ll come down some over the course of the year.
Any drop in rates can make a difference for you. When rates go down, you can afford the home you really want more easily because your monthly payment would be lower.
2. Home Prices
The second big factor to think about is home prices. Most experts project they`ll keep going up this year, but at a more normal pace. That’s because there are more homes on the market this year, but still not enough for everyone who wants to buy one.
These forecasts are actually good news for you because it means the prices aren`t likely to shoot up sky high like they did during the pandemic. That doesn’t mean they’re going to fall – they`ll just rise at a slower pace.
3. Wages
One factor helping affordability right now is the fact that wages are rising.
Here’s how this helps you. If your income has increased, it`s easier to afford a home because you don`t have to spend as big of a percentage of your paycheck on your monthly mortgage payment.
If you stack these factors up, you’ll see mortgage rates are still projected to come down a bit later this year, home prices are going up at a more moderate pace, and wages are growing quicker than normal. Those trends are a good sign for your ability to afford a home.

You may have seen reports in the news recently saying it’s more affordable to rent right now than it is to buy a home.
How Equity Changes the Game
If you rent, your monthly rental payments only go toward covering your housing costs and your landlord’s expenses. So other than saving a bit more per month and maybe getting your rental deposit back when you move, the money you spent on housing each month is gone – forever.
When you buy, your monthly mortgage payment pays for your shelter, but it also acts as an investment. That investment grows in the form of equity as you make your mortgage payment each month and chip away at what you owe on your home loan. Your equity gets an extra boost as home values climb – which they typically do.
Imagine you purchased a home for $400,000 at the start of this year. Chances are, since you bought, you plan to stay put for a while. Based on the HPES projections, if you live there for 5 years, you could end up gaining over $83,000 in household wealth as your home grows in value.
While you may save a bit on your monthly payments if you rent right now, you’ll also miss out on gaining equity.
So, what’s the big takeaway? Whether it makes more sense to rent or buy is going to vary based on your personal finances. It’s not a good idea to buy if the numbers truly don’t work for you. But, if you’re ready and able, adding equity as the final puzzle piece may be enough to help you realize buying is a better move in the long run. If you want to take advantage of long-term home price appreciation, let’s go over your options.

The Perks of Downsizing When You Retire [INFOGRAPHIC]
If you’re about to retire, or just did, downsizing can be a good way to try to cut down on some of your expenses. Smaller homes typically have lower energy and maintenance costs. Plus, you may have enough equity built up to fuel your move. If you`re thinking about moving to a smaller home, let’s go over your goals and look at your options in our local market.

“Lisa did a great job in guiding us first-time homebuyers through the sometimes very confusing process of buying a house.
She was very patient with us but also always available when we needed her.
She also helped us during the purchasing process by helping us with how we submit the offer, consulted us during the negotiations and also referred us t…o other companies (for the inspections, insurance, mortgage etc.) that she recommended.
All in all, it was a very pleasant experience working with her”Read More ▾

“The Laurie Dau Team is amazing. My realtor was Lauren Brandle. She was and is very responsive to my calls, emails, and text messages no matter what time of day or night I contact her. She would immediately try to get showings and had many suggestions for our needs. She is a great negotiator and never hesitated to research and ask the rest of her te…am for input when necessary. Once our offer was accepted the team including Amanda Kim, was very informative and handled everything needed all the way up to settlement including last minute obstacles. I would highly recommend the team to anyone wanting to purchase a new home.”Read More ▾

Her team assisted us on the morning of our closing when we had fallen behind in packing and clearing out. Laurie's team showed up at daybreak and worked hard to help us. We will always be grateful to her and her team and would recomm…end her without hesitation. Not only was she my closing agent on my sale, but she was also my listing agent on my purchase less than a week later! Use Laurie Dau's team, you will not be disappointed.

“Laurie has been so helpful and knowledgeable throughout the entire process of selling our home. After setting up an appointment and meeting with her one on one; my wife and I instantly felt comfortable with her. We talked to a few other realtors prior, but nothing compared to her and we both knew we wanted her as our realtor. Our house sold extreme…ly quickly and she was on top of every part of the sale and kept us updated every step of the way with timely communication. She always negotiated on our behalf and we knew she had our best interest in mind. She was amazing! Also Laurie's team is very efficient and knows their jobs inside and out. The team works well in tandem and is in sync with every step/challenge of the process. Their ability to perform like this helped reduce our stress and empowered us to feel confident in the decisions we were making. Thank you Laurie”Read More ▾
