Should You Wait to Buy a Home in 2025? Here’s the Real Truth.

Let’s be honest: if you’ve been scrolling Zillow every night wondering whether now is the right time to buy, you’re not alone. Between high interest rates, talks of economic uncertainty, and everyone from your uncle to TikTok “gurus” saying just wait—it’s no wonder people are frozen.

But here’s the truth: waiting doesn’t guarantee you a better deal.

📉 In fact, in many Northeast Ohio neighborhoods, home prices are holding steady or even climbing. Why? Because inventory is still way below normal. Demand may have cooled off from 2021, but it’s still strong—especially for move-in-ready homes in desirable school districts.

🤔 “But what about interest rates?”

Good question. Rates have ticked up, sure. But here's what smart buyers are doing:
They’re marrying the house and dating the rate. You can always refinance later. What you can’t do is rewind time and snag that dream home once it’s gone.

Plus, waiting for the “perfect” rate could cost you tens of thousands in missed equity. Meanwhile, your rent? It’s not going down.
