The answer to these two questions will help you determine if you should buy now or wait:

1) What will Dallas area house prices be like in 2022?

2) Where are mortgage rates by the end of this year going to end up?

Many experts weigh in on what prices will look like for 2022, below are 3 major housing experts which are predicting higher housing prices

Real Estate is very local so let’s look at the local Dallas and Fort Worth home market. According to the Dallas Business Journal article Dallas-Fort Worth home prices could exceed 20% in 2022. If this projection holds true, the Dallas area homes will add to last year’s year-over-year home value appreciation.

Just ask local Realtors about what happens when a new listing goes on the market. I was helping to host an open house in my Plano neighborhood. The home when on the market at $480,000 and sold in 4 days for $523,000.

The same home was sold in 2011 for $240,000. That is over double in value in 10 years. This creates family wealth.

According to Porch here are the predictions for Dallas-Fort Worth

Forecasted one-year change in home price: +21.1%
Current median home price: $297,044
Sale-to-list price ratio: 102%

What are the mortgage rates likely to do for 2022?

Mortgage rates will continue to rise in 2022, with the fourth quarter likely being a key election-year indicator. Experts are divided on how much rates will increase but they all expect rates to increase. If mortgage rates increase, a home buyer’s budget will decrease.

If Housing Prices and Mortgage Rates both increase for 2022, what does that mean to your family’s wealth?

Let’s look at a comparison of waiting. We will assume a Plano Texas home purchased in 2020 for $400,000 at an interest rate of 2.75 and we will compare it to the same house, now you have to pay $484,000 (I was conservative by only using 10% home value appreciation.) and you will also pay a higher interest rate of 4%.

Monthly payment will increase by $888.26 – this will disqualify roughly 20% of the previously approved buyers.
Cost of ownership over the first 5 years has increased by $44,419
Cost of ownership over 30 years has increased by $168,748

Home ownership is a great way to both save money and enjoy the many benefits that come from living in your own space. However, when thinking about buying or not buy at all it’s important that one considers their finances as well!

The bottom line, when asking if I should purchase a home was never just about financial considerations; it also is dependent on the right location, and will it be less stressful to own rather then rent.
