If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, you’ve likely heard about tariffs, taxes, inflation, and market fluctuations. These economic factors affect us all, especially if you’re considering buying or selling a home. While I don’t have a crystal ball, I closely work with clients to navigate this market, and I can share some insights based on the latest economic data—and why now might still be a smart time to make a move.
What’s happening in the economy? At a recent economic summit, analysts from Goldman Sachs highlighted that rising inflation could lead to lower interest rates in the near future. Historically, this has been a signal for potential opportunities in real estate.
Yes, the stock market has taken hits, and some have seen losses in their portfolios. But as Warren Buffett famously said when asked about losing millions during a downturn, “I didn’t lose anything until I sell.” The same mindset applies to real estate: fear-mongering sells headlines, but staying calm and focusing on long-term goals will serve you better.
Is it a good time to buy a home now? For first-time homebuyers, this could be the best time to purchase a home. If interest rates drop as expected, locking in a home before the prices rise could save you money in the long run. Even if rates aren’t exactly where you’d hope them to be, now is still a smart time to explore your options because, based on the data we’ve reviewed, experts predict the housing market will increase by 3% to 6% by the end of 2025.
Buying sooner rather than later could save you money in the long run. Companies like Envoy Mortgage now offer fantastic programs that could make homeownership more accessible. If you’re curious, I’d love to connect you with someone who can walk you through those opportunities.
Is it a good time to sell a home now? Timing matters if you’re thinking about selling. Based on current projections, Q3 and Q4 of this year could be ideal windows to list your property. The demand remains strong, and strategically pricing your home could lead to a successful sale. Every situation is unique, so having a consultation with a professional can help clarify your best path forward.

Whether buying or selling, creating a solid plan tailored to your needs will set you up for stability and growth.
