Waiting to buy a San Diego home

There are many good reasons not to buy a San Diego home right now. The question is, are these really going to change, or are you just prolonging what has to be done by waiting?

Which is the best strategy to get a San Diego home?

  • STRATEGY 1 - Wait, because there aren't many homes on the market, and hope the mortgage rates drop and more homes come on the market? There will be new reasons once the mortgage rates drop, for example, it may be too competitive and multiple offers, or prices may go up 10-15% once the mortgage rates drop.

OR

  • STRATEGY 2 - Actively look at homes and have a strategy to find off-market/unlisted homes where you see these and get a chance to buy before other buyers.

  • Then, once you find a home, work with the lender to get a loan buydown so you pay a 5.5% mortgage instead of 7.5%.

How else besides Strategy 2 will you get the home you want and start building equity?

If you want to change your approach and get more options, call or text me, George, at 619-846-1244, and I can show you innovative strategies to get an off-market home.

 


As a buyer, you may think I'll wait. The problem with that strategy is that the prices have steadily increased over the years, and it's impossible to time the market.

Over the last several years, mortgage rates have gone from under 3% to 8%. Prices have gone from $680,000 to $1,020,000.

Instead, you must get in there and own something, even a smaller home or condo. I have some excellent listings.

Most experts agree that if you wait until rates drop, the market will heat up again.

If you'd like to buy or sell a home over the next few months, I'll provide you with a clear path. Call or text me today, George Lorimer, at 619-846-1244.
