Should I wait for mortgage rates to drop before buying?

Trying to perfectly time interest rates is extremely difficult. While lower rates are always welcome, waiting also comes with tradeoffs. Home prices can continue rising, inventory can change, and increased buyer competition often returns when rates fall. Rather than trying to predict the market, I encourage buyers to focus on whether purchasing makes sense for their personal finances and long-term goals. If rates improve later, refinancing may be an option. But finding the right home at the right time for your life is often more important than trying to catch the absolute lowest rate.
