Mortgages and rates

Should I wait for interest rates to drop before buying?

Rates fluctuate based on economic conditions, inflation, and Federal Reserve policy, and timing the market perfectly is nearly impossible. Waiting for lower rates means you also face the risk of rising home prices, continued competition, and fewer available listings. If prices climb while you wait, any rate savings could be offset by a higher purchase price. You can always refinance later if rates drop meaningfully. The better question is whether buying makes sense for your budget and goals right now.
