Today’s housing market is all over the palace. There are prospective homebuyers out there who are asking themselves if this is the right time to purchase a home. 
The pandemic caused a crazy housing market with home prices skyrocketing and buyers in bidding wars. Today, the market is cooling off a bit because of the high inflation. The average interest rate for the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage reached 7.29%, as of July 31.
Even though these red flags might scare you, this is a great time to invest in the real estate market. According to Mike Biryla with The Agency, when there’s volatility in the housing market, it is a great time to purchase. “Sellers that are on the market right now are not opportunistic sellers. This isn’t the market where sellers can just try for a high number and see if it’ll happen,” says Biryla.
When investing in real estate, you need to remember that you are setting yourself up for the future. “If you’re not ready to take on that responsibility just yet but want to lock in an interest rate, buy it now. When it comes to real estate, I think it’s one of the best investments you could possibly make. It’s great for your portfolio and it’s great for your retirement,” says Emma Hernan of the Oppenheim Group.
Temperatures were not the only thing on the rise this summer. According to CNN, New home sales rose in July from the month before, beating estimates and reaching a 17-month high, as buyers continue to look to new construction as an option in the face of a historically low supply of existing homes.
The US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Census Bureau reported that sales for new homes were up 31.5% from the summer of 2022. Newly constructed home sales rose to 4.4% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 714,000.
Many are concerned that this might change due to the rise in home prices, and the rise in mortgage rates. In fact, existing home sales are down from Summer 2022. Those in the industry are not as concerned with new home sales.
“Household formation continues to outpace new construction which has continued to bolster the market despite the multitude of headwinds,” says Kelly Mangold of RCLCO Real Estate Consulting.
“With the median price of a new home running close to that of an existing home, many homebuyers are opting for the benefits of fresh floor plans, better energy efficiency and a warranty,” said George Ratiu, chief economist at Keeping Current Matters, a real estate market insights company. “Builders are bringing a growing number of new single-family homes to market, focused on meeting the needs of an affordability-constrained consumer.”
