See For Yourself: Why You Can't Wait for Prices to Drop!

Marysville Real Estate Podcast Sandy Eagon

Don’t wait to buy a home; it will cost you more in the long run. Today I want to give you one more reason not to wait until prices drop before you buy a house. I totally understand the concern about where prices, home values, and affordability are—it costs a lot of money to buy a house. The question I have: Is it going to cost you more to not? Let me explain: Since 1989, our prices have dropped only four years. Four years in the last 21 years. From 1989 to 2020, the prices dropped only four years. Now, this is a national graph, but it follows what happened here locally in the Seattle area as well. I felt that bottom fall out in June of 2007, and it was not pretty. But I’ve also seen since then that anyone who held onto their property has not only made up that value, but then some. Real estate has always made money over time. So if you are in the market to get a house and keep a house, to get an investment property and keep that investment property, to get a second house and keep that second house, do it now. Just do it now. I don’t care if you can buy a condo, a little fixer-upper, or anything you can get your hands on. I know that it’s a competition, but do it now because later on it will only cost you more. “From 1989 to 2020, our prices have only dropped four years.” Did you know that the average homeowner has 40 times more net worth than the average renter?
