  • Unless you have specific reasons to be concerned about your job, a recession may actually be a good time to buy a home.

The article from WJLA discusses why fears of a recession should not necessarily deter potential homebuyers from purchasing a home. It highlights that despite economic uncertainties, homeownership remains a solid long-term investment. The piece points out that interest rates, although higher than in recent years, are still relatively low historically, suggesting that waiting for a better time might not yield significantly better conditions. Additionally, the article notes that home prices may not drop substantially even during a recession, and buying a home can provide stability and potential equity growth over time. It also advises potential buyers to focus on their personal financial situation and long-term goals rather than trying to time the market, and to consider factors like job security and savings before making a decision.
