Is now a good time to buy a home?

Stop Listening to the Noise—Here’s the Real Deal on Today’s Market
By Denise Samples | Equity Real Estate-Buckley

We’ve all heard it—your sister’s neighbor thinks the market’s about to crash, your friend on social media swears no one should buy a house right now, and everyone seems to have a different opinion about interest rates.

But here’s the truth: opinions aren’t facts. And when it comes to one of the biggest financial decisions of your life, you deserve real insight—not rumors.

I’m Denise Samples, a licensed real estate professional with boots-on-the-ground knowledge of our local market—and I’m here to cut through the noise.

So... Is It a Good Time To Buy? Actually, Yes.

Right now, we’re in a market that’s full of opportunity—if you know where to look.

✅ More inventory means more options. You have a better chance of finding the right home without competing against dozens of other buyers.

✅ If you’re moving up, you could come out ahead. Maybe you’ll sell your current home for a little less than you hoped. But chances are, the seller of your next home is in the same boat. If you’re buying a more expensive property, the price gap typically works in your favor.

✅ Rates may be high—but they’re not forever. You can always refinance later. Just never base your purchase solely on the hope of refinancing. Make sure the payment works for your budget now—and if rates come down? That’s a bonus.

A Strategic Mindset Wins

History tells us that when interest rates dip, home prices tend to rise. Buyers jump back into the market, competition increases, and the same home can cost you thousands more.

That's why waiting may not be the best move.

Instead of following headlines or opinions, let’s sit down and talk about your specific situation. I’ll help you understand your options, evaluate your numbers, and build a strategy that fits your goals—not the internet’s assumptions.

Bottom Line:
Real estate isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your future shouldn’t be shaped by hearsay. If you're considering a move, don't let misinformation hold you back. Reach out to someone who knows your local market and has your best interest at heart.
