Time in the Market Beats Timing the Market If you’re debating whether to buy now or wait, remember this: real estate rewards those who get in the market, not those who try to time it perfectly. Yes, today’s housing market has its challenges, but there are ways to make it work —exploring different neighborhoods, considering smaller condos or townhomes, asking your lender about alternative financing, or tapping into down payment assistance programs. The key is making a move when it makes sense for you rather than waiting for a perfect scenario that may never arrive.
