Sitting on the Fence
“I’m going to wait until prices drop.” “I want to save enough for a large down payment.”
“The prices are too high.”
“A better house might come up.”
“My friends/media told me not to buy.”
We hear these comments on a regular basis. I will say that the right time to buy is when the conditions work for you regardless of the market. If you can afford the mortgage and the property is in the right location and meets most of your needs, why wait? What happens if the prices don’t come down? If the prices do come down, would you and the others sitting on fence jump in at the same time to compete for the same property? When you find the near perfect house but wait to see if another better one comes up and doesn’t, and meanwhile the house that you liked has sold, what do you do then? A home is where you live. And we happen to live in the Lower Mainland where the population continues to grow from international immigration and the rest of Canada at a record pace. Prices are based on supply and demand. Have you wished that you had bought earlier but didn’t because you thought prices were going to fall? Ask some of your friends that did. I am not suggesting that you jump in blindly. Consult with one of our experienced agents and they can guide you in the right direction.
