\"What<\/p>\n

National home prices have increased by 5.4% since this time last year. Over that same time period, interest rates have remained near historic lows<\/a> which has allowed many buyers to enter the market and lock in low rates.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a seller, you will likely be most concerned about\u00a0\u2018short-term price\u2019\u00a0<\/em>\u2013 where home values are headed<\/a> over the next six months. As a buyer, however, you must not be concerned about price but instead about the\u00a0\u2018long-term cost\u2019\u00a0<\/em>of the home.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Mortgage Bankers Association<\/em>\u00a0(MBA),\u00a0Freddie Mac,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Fannie Mae<\/em>\u00a0all project that mortgage interest rates will increase by this time next year. According to\u00a0CoreLogic\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0most recent\u00a0Home Price Insights Report<\/a><\/em>,\u00a0<\/em>home prices will appreciate by 4.8% over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

What Does This Mean as a Buyer?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If home prices appreciate by 4.8% over the next twelve months as predicted by\u00a0CoreLogic,<\/em>\u00a0here is a simple demonstration of the impact that an increase in interest rate would have on the mortgage payment of a home selling for approximately $250,000 today:<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

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

If buying a home is in your plan for this year, doing it sooner rather than later could save you thousands of dollars over the terms of your loan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
