It’s been an eventful year for real estate (to say the least!) and homebuyers have been asking this question.
Hear why Ken Warlick, VP of construction of Harrison Homes, says now is the time to build your dream home.
Historic Low Interest Rates Offset Material Cost Increases
Lumber prices, which spiked dramatically earlier in the year, are finally leveling off which is great news. At the same time, material costs are rising due to demand and COVID. However, interest rates for mortgages are still at an all-time historic low, helping to offset the rise of material costs.
The Housing Shortage Will Continue
According to Freddie Mac, the U.S. housing market is 3.8 million single-family homes short of supply to meet buyer demand. The shortage of supply and increased buyer demand is currently helping to flame the fire for the real-estate market. Home builders simply cannot build fast enough to meet the pace of this demand and it will take years for this to correct itself. This directly impacts the amount of inventory available to potential home buyers, keeping the demand competitive for the foreseeable future.
To build homes requires land. Due to the high number of people looking to build or buy, land becomes more scarce, increasing value and creating higher purchase prices for buyers.
As the economy continues to rebound from COVID, interest rates will eventually rise and it will cost homebuyers more money to secure a mortgage. With home prices anticipated to remain on an upward trend, it will become more expensive to buy.
If your financials are in order and you’ve been thinking about pursuing a new home, it’s to your benefit to act sooner than later.
