HOW MUCH HOUSE CAN I AFFORD

The main question that is always asked is how much house can I afford? Over the past year, many people has been talking about housing affordability and how tight it has gotten. Recently there has been relief on the front. Mortgage rates has gone down Number one, mortgage rates have come down in the recent months since their most recent peak in October and expecting to decline even more as we move into 2024. But there's more to being able to afford a home than just mortgage rates. To really understand home affordability, you need to look at the combination of four important factors: mortgage rates, home prices, debt ratio and verifiable wages. While there could be some fluctuations in the path forward, the general expectation is that mortgage rates will continue to trend downward as long as the economy continues to see progress on inflation.

HOME PRICES

The second important factor is home prices. After going up at a relatively normal pace last year, they're expected to continue to rise moderately in 2024 as what we call in terms the deceleration mode. That is because even with home inventory projected to grow slightly this year, there still is not enough homes for sale for all the people who want to buy. More inventory will be generally offset but more buyers in the housing market. As a result, is is expected that, overall, the median home price in the country will grow modestly. This is great news for you because it means prices are not likely to skyrocket like they did in the pandemic. It also means it will more than likely cost you more to wait.

The last two are wages and debt ratio works together. Between your credit score, verifiable wages and your debts determines how much house you can afford.Higher wages and little debt and high credit score improves affordability because this reduces your debt ratio to afford more home. Your trusted advisor and realtor generally has great lenders to assist you in the process.
