First-time buyers can make a clearer buy-or-wait decision by weighing their finances, local market conditions, housing costs and future plans.
Real estate agents can help buyers make more informed decisions by focusing on the full monthly payment, including taxes, insurance and association fees, rather than the listing price alone. Discussing those costs early can prevent surprises, narrow the home search and demonstrate the value of an agent’s market knowledge.
