PSA: Smart People are Buying Real Estate Right Now

Spring is the start of Denver’s busy real estate season, and I have to share something that I’ve noticed about the people who have been contacting me lately … they’re really smart when it comes to real estate.

I am seeing lots of clients who have many transactions under their belts, which tracks with what the experts I follow online are saying as well—that if you’re waiting for interest rates to fall, you’re probably missing out on value and future equity growth available in the current housing market.

There’s a lot of math being shared out there to illustrate this point, but I know not everyone loves math so I’ll break it down like this:

• If interest rates go down a little (say .5%)

• And property values keep increasing a little (say 2.5%)

• Waiting one or two years to buy gives you a slightly lower monthly payment but misses out on a lot more in equity growth

One of the other reasons people are telling me they are interested in buying now is that they want to avoid the uncertainty of future possible tariffs on building materials and what that might do to costs in the housing market. For some, uncertainty causes them to lay low and wait it out, while others seek to capitalize on the present market.

Now, I’m not trying to pressure you, because pressure has no place in conversations with me. I’m just trying to share what these real estate insiders are doing so that we all have the same info.

You’re an expert on yourself, and your hopes and dreams for your next home purchase, and if you’d like to have a no-stress conversation about those dreams with a pretty smart realtor, please call / email / text to reach out to me!
