As we move through 2026, I know many of you are debating whether to buy a home now or wait until the fall. It’s not an easy decision, especially when mortgage rates have reached a one-year high at 6.66%, average home prices are up 1.8% to $440,600, and housing supply sits at 4.6 months. In my years as a Realtor and life coach, I’ve seen how both the financial and emotional sides of homeownership come into play. Buying now can offer you the security and peace of mind that comes from settling into your own space—even as prices rise modestly. On the other hand, waiting may mean lower prices and less competition, but that uncertainty can also create its own stress. My goal is always to help clients make thoughtful decisions that fit their unique situations, because every family’s journey is different. If you’re weighing your options, know that you’re not alone—navigating these transitions is my passion, and I believe your home journey should be guided with care and insight.
