If you\u2019ve been thinking about buying a home<\/a>, you likely have one question on the top of your mind: should I buy right now, or should I wait?<\/em> While no one can answer that question for you, here\u2019s some information that could help you make your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Future of Home Price Appreciation<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Each quarter, Pulsenomics <\/em>surveys<\/a> a national panel of over 100 economists, real estate experts, and investment and market strategists to compile projections for the future of home price appreciation<\/a>. The output is the Home Price Expectation Survey. <\/em>In the latest release, it forecasts home prices will continue appreciating over the next five years (see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Should<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As the graph shows, the rate of appreciation will moderate over the next few years as the market shifts<\/a> away from the unsustainable pace it saw during the pandemic. After this year, experts project home price appreciation will continue, but at levels that are more typical for the market. As Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR), says<\/a>: <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople should not anticipate another double-digit price appreciation. Those days are over<\/em>. . . .<\/em> We may return to more normal price appreciation of 4%, 5% a year<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

For you, that ongoing appreciation should give you peace of mind your investment<\/a> in homeownership is worthwhile because you\u2019re buying an asset that\u2019s projected to grow in value in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Does That Mean for You?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To give you an idea of how this could impact your net worth<\/a>, here\u2019s how a typical home could grow in value over the next few years using the expert price appreciation projections from the Pulsenomics<\/em> survey mentioned above (see graph below<\/em>):<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Should<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As the graph conveys, even at a more typical pace of appreciation, you still stand to make significant equity gains<\/a> as your home grows in value. That\u2019s what\u2019s at stake if you delay your plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
