Should I Buy When Rates Are High or Wait for Prices to Drop?

You can refinance a rate — but you can’t refinance a price. When rates drop, more buyers jump in, which drives prices up.

If the home and monthly payment feel right, buy now and refinance later. Waiting for perfect conditions often costs more than acting when the opportunity’s in front of you. Real estate rewards those who play the long game.
