Common view now is that prices will rise once rates drop so now is a good time to buy. Are there any counterpoints to buying now? Heard something about high inventories pushing prices down more next year?

The decision of when is the right time to buy is super personalized based on needs and other goals! Happy to chat more on this with you: jlind@firstunitedbank.com

I think prices will unfortunately continue to climb for the foreseeable future

I think people will eventually just accept they need to buy. A lot of people are on the sidelines but eventually their 2-bed condos will be too small for their now family of 4.

I have several properties and plan to buy another soon, expecting that a fair to good deal on today's market, and then of course adjusting mortgage later on when rates meaningfully drop, will be a better option for those with the ability to buy now before rates drop and prices rise with them.

Econ 101 says price should drop significantly. But if you are here for the LT then you just need to make sure your math is right

100% agreed with your wording FLCA1. Naturally assumed prices of homes should rise, as that was topic on hand.

What is a simple way to explain to my boyfriend that investing in equity with an expected return of 10% is better than paying off debt that is growing at a rate of 6%. He has student loans and is adamant that he wants to pay all of them off immediately before saving any retirement money. I understand that many individuals use this strategy but I think investing in index funds for the long haul is better from a wealth accumulation perspective, without even factoring in tax implications of 401k

Our appraisal came through exactly as the offer price we put. Apparently by lenders 3rd party. Isnt that a bit fishy? If it came in lower our contract has the option to negotiate a bit with seller.
