Continued Growth in Home Prices
Despite the stabilization post-pandemic, Houston’s real estate market is reaching new heights. Did you know that home prices in the Houston area have recently set a new record, being 4% higher than they were last year?
Looking ahead, experts anticipate that home prices will continue to rise steadily over the next five years. For homeowners, this means significant growth in equity. For instance, an average-priced home purchased today for $400,000 is projected to gain approximately $83,000 in equity over the next five years.
Mortgage Rate Trends
One of the more welcome predictions for potential homebuyers is the slight decrease in mortgage rates expected. Even a small reduction in rates can significantly affect your monthly mortgage payments, making homeownership more accessible and affordable. Now could be an opportune time to consider locking in a lower rate, which could save you a considerable amount over the life of your loan.
