We want to wait to sell what will the market look like in a few months?

 Not sure whether to buy now or stay put?  

Experts agree mortgage interest rates are predicted to rise by an average of three quarters of a percentage point.  This could cost an average homeowner $133/month on a $300,000 mortgage.  Looking at it another way today's 4% rates gets you a $300,000 mortgage for $1432/month.  If the rates change to 4.75% the same monthly payment only gets you a $274,500 mortgage.  You can lose $25,500 in buying power for the same money.

Some current homeowners trying to time the market to sell could actually hurt themselves in the long run, especially move-up buyers.  You'll likely make a little more money on your current home then end up paying more on the new one.  Double that with higher interest rates waiting to upgrades looks like a lose-lose.  Now is the time to make your move!

First time buyers who are saving for a down payment could consider using smaller down payment programs.  Our lending partner Mortgage Express has many different loan programs as low as zero down payment.  Call me 214-552-2091, I would be happy to discuss many options available with small or no down payment.
