Rising interest rates have begun to slow an overheated housing market as monthly mortgage payments have risen dramatically since the beginning of the year. This is leaving some people, who want to purchase a home, priced out of the market, and others wondering if now is the right time to buy. But this rise in borrowing cost shows no signs of letting up soon.
Economic uncertainty and the volatility of the financial markets are causing mortgage rates to rise George Ratiu, Senior Economist and Manager of Economic Research at realtor com, says this:
“While even two months ago rates above 7% may have seemed unthinkable, at the current pace, we can expect rates to surpass that level in the next three months ”
So, is now the right time to buy a home? Anyone thinking about buying a home today should ask these two questions.
