Interest rates are finally going up. Lenders, agents, and the FED have all been saying they would go up for the past few years and it is now finally happening.

But does that mean you should go out and buy a house before rates rise even more?

Matt says no! Don't buy just because rates are going up. If you have been thinking about buying for a long time and now is the *right* time, sure go for it.

The best time to purchase real estate is when you are ready to hold on to it for 5-7 years (at least). Not when rates are going up, down, and sideways. That's just external noise.

Focus on what's important to you. Your family, lifestyle, and well-being. If it just so happens that rates line up nicely with when you're looking to purchase, great! If not, don't sweat it. You're going to be living in your home for a long time. Buy for the right reasons.
