If you are in the market to buy a home, you may want to look sooner rather than later. As the Feds just raised the interest rate, the cost of a home loan will become increasing more expensive. Last week the average interest rate on a 30-year mortgage was 4.21%. Economists are forecasting within the next month, this rate could rise to as high as 4.5%. This trend is expected to continue through 2018 with interest rates potentially reaching 5.5% by next summer.
According to Zillow, home prices on average will appreciate 4.6% in 2017. If you wait even a few months, you face the risk of higher home prices and higher borrowing rates. To avoid spending more on your monthly payment, let’s start putting together a game plan and get you pre-approved before it’s too late!
