Buy a House Now or Wait? The Real Math

Should You Buy a House Now or Wait? The Math Behind Rates, Prices & Timing Realtor and Principal Broker Tobin Seven uses a $500,000 home example to compare buying now at a 7% rate versus waiting for lower rates, showing how PITI might be around $3,600/month and how a drop to 6% could reduce payments about $300/month, but also increase demand and push prices higher. He explains that historical appreciation of about 3% per year can make waiting costly because purchase price is permanent while interest rates can be refinanced. Three buyer stories illustrate: one buyer waited and saw prices jump from $400,000 to $460,000; another bought at 7%, later refinanced to 6%, and benefited from appreciation; and Tobin recounts buying at 17% and refinancing six times. He advises waiting only if finances are unstable, emphasizing readiness over perfect market timing. 00:00 Buy Now or Wait 00:50 Run the Numbers 01:44 Rates Down Prices Up 02:53 Real Buyer Stories 04:42 Refinance vs Price 05:29 When Waiting Makes Sense
