1. Homeownership Has Many Perks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Homeownership is the American dream \u2013 not just because it has tangible financial benefits, but because it also has the power to change lives.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your needs have changed, you\u2019re looking for more stability, or you\u2019re ready
to enter a new chapter in your life, turn to homeownership. It not only provides a safe
space to call your own, but it also helps you build your net worth through home price
appreciation and home equity. Not to mention, it gives you a sense of pride and
accomplishment that carries through your day-to-day life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. More Homes Are Expected To Enter the Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the number of homes for sale is still lower than pre-pandemic norms, there is good news for your home search. Data from realtor.com shows the number of homes being listed for sale, known in the industry as new listings, has increased since the start of the year. In addition, 64% of sellers are planning to list their homes by the end of this summer.<\/strong> That should give you more options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you begin your search now and work with a trusted real estate advisor, you\u2019ll be in a great spot to benefit from those additional choices when your dream home hits the market.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Home Prices Are Climbing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So far this year, home prices have increased. While competitive buyers are expected to keep home prices climbing, industry leaders say the pace of the increases should moderate moving forward. As Len Kiefer, Deputy Chief Economist at Freddie Mac, says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re thinking about waiting until next year and that maybe rates are higher, but you\u2019ll get a deal on prices \u2013 well that\u2019s risky. . . . It may be more advantageous to purchase this year relative to waiting until 2023 at this time.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

While everyone moves through the homebuying process at a different pace, it\u2019s more important than ever to put your plans in place and begin working with a real estate advisor. That\u2019s because it\u2019ll cost you more to buy a home if you wait as prices rise.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Rents Are Rising Too<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Census data shows the median monthly rent is also going up (see chart below). To escape rising rents, consider purchasing a home so you can lock in your monthly mortgage payment. Even though the number of homes available for sale is low, homeownership is a much more stable long-term investment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
