"Should I worry about timing the market?"

We talk to a lot of people who are waiting for the perfect time to buy a home.

They want to wait for prices to drop. They want to wait for rates to drop.

And we get it—no one wants to overpay. Everyone wants the best possible deal.

But here’s the thing…

Trying to perfectly time the market rarely works.

What matters more than timing the market is time in the market.

You’ve probably heard this when it comes to investing—it’s the same idea.

Someone who buys a home—even when the market isn’t “perfect”—is still building equity over time.

Someone who waits for the perfect moment might miss out on long-term wealth growth.

That’s why a long-term mindset is key.

The market may fluctuate in the short term, but owning real estate is one of the best ways to build wealth over time.

If you want to explore your options, we'd be happy to chat!

Talk soon,
CHRIS, PATRIC, JULIE, JASMINE, KRISTI & BRELL
