The Interest Rate Impact…It’s Bigger Than You Think!

 

Why is now a good time to buy a home?  The answer may not be exactly what you think!   Sure, home prices are down, making that home you had your eye on a few years ago much more affordable.  Even more significant though is the drop in interest rates.  For months we’ve heard reports that interest rates are “nearing all time lows” but last week, interest rates hit their all time low at a little over 3.75%.

A lot of people I meet and clients I’m working with to help buy a home ask me, “shouldn’t we wait to see if home prices continue to drop?” I also hear, “I’ve heard that we may be in for another housing price dip…shouldn’t we wait?”  My answer: If you want to pay more for your home, wait to see what happens with home prices!  Now this might be opposite of what you expected and it does not mean that I think home prices are going to begin rising dramatically.  It means that home buyers should take advantage of the low interest rates while they last.  They are MORE significant than the price of the home.

Do you know that a $600,000 home will cost you approximately $130,000 more over the life of the loan for every point of interest?  For example, the difference between a 4.25% interest and 5.25% interest rate (both of which are fantastic) will cost you approximately $130,000 amortized!  Sure, we may see home prices go down a bit more, but why risk $130,000 while you wait for the price to drop $10,000 or $20,000?  To break it down further, the same $600,000 home will cost you approximately $362 per month more for every 1% increase in interest rate.  Compare this to the approximate $100 per month savings for every $20,000 in home price reduction.  Bottom line:  If you are waiting for that $600,000 home to drop to $580,000 to save $100 per month, if interest rates rise, you will be paying much more for your home, not less!  Interest rates are sure to begin rising again at some point.  The average interest rate historically is 9%.  We’ve hit the “all time low” already and rates are still great!  Take advantage of it!
