What\u2019s Going on with Home Prices?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Home prices are one factor that directly impacts how much it will cost to buy a home and how much you stand to gain as a homeowner when prices appreciate.<\/p>\n<p>The graph below shows just how much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2021\/07\/06\/a-look-at-home-price-appreciation-through-2025\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">experts<\/a> are forecasting prices to rise this year:<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/29160534\/20210802-MEM-Eng-1.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44851\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/29160534\/20210802-MEM-Eng-1.png?resize=650%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Key Questions To Ask Yourself Before Buying a Home | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/a>Continued price appreciation is great news for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2021\/06\/18\/owning-a-home-has-distinct-financial-benefits-over-renting-infographic\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">existing homeowners<\/a> but<strong> can pose a significant challenge if you <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2021\/07\/07\/the-truths-young-homebuyers-need-to-hear\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>wait to buy<\/strong><\/a><strong>. <\/strong>Using these forecasts, you can determine just how much waiting could cost you. If prices increase based on the average of all forecasts (12.46%), a median-priced home that cost $350,000 in January of 2021 <strong>will cost an additional $43,610 by the end of the year.<\/strong> What does this mean for you? Put simply, with home prices increasing, <strong>the longer you wait, the more it could cost you. <\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Are Today\u2019s Low Mortgage Rates Going To Last?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Another significant factor that should inform your decision is mortgage interest rates. Today\u2019s average rates remain close to record-lows. Much like prices, though, experts forecast rates will rise over the coming months, as the chart below shows:<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/29160535\/20210802-MEM-Eng-2.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44852\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/29160535\/20210802-MEM-Eng-2.png?resize=650%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Key Questions To Ask Yourself Before Buying a Home | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/a>Your monthly mortgage payment can be significantly impacted by even the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2021\/07\/19\/what-you-should-do-before-interest-rates-rise\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">slightest increase<\/a> in mortgage rates, which makes the overall cost of the home greater over time when you wait.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Why Is Homeownership Important to You?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The final question is a personal one. Before deciding, you\u2019ll need to understand your motivation to buy a home and <em>why homeownership is an important goal for you.<\/em> The financial benefits of owning a home are often easier to account for than the many emotional ones.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>2021 National Homeownership Market Survey<\/em> shows that six of the nine reasons Americans value homeownership are because of how it impacts them on a personal, aspirational level. The survey says homeownership provides:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Stability<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Safety<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A Sense of Accomplishment<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A Life Milestone<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A Stake in the Community<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Personal Pride<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighborworks.org\/getattachment\/73023399-4bb0-4d98-b2f8-8a3aa940d065\/attachment.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><em>National Housing &amp; Financial Capability Survey<\/em><\/a> from <em>NeighborWorks America<\/em> also highlights the emotional benefits of homeownership:<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/29160537\/20210802-MEM-Eng-3.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44853\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/29160537\/20210802-MEM-Eng-3.png?resize=650%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Key Questions To Ask Yourself Before Buying a Home | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/a>Clearly, there\u2019s a value to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2021\/05\/03\/americans-find-the-nonfinancial-benefits-of-homeownership-most-valuable\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">homeownership<\/a> beyond the many great financial opportunities it provides. It gives homeowners a sense of pride, safety, security, and accomplishment \u2013 which impacts their lives and how they feel daily.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Homeownership is life-changing, and buying a home can positively impact you in so many ways.
