Keys & Gears

Should you buy a home now or wait for rates to drop? In this episode, Bess and Mark break down the real forces driving today’s market — population growth, job expansion, inflation, and demand — and why timing the housing market is as difficult as timing the stock market.
We walk through three steps to help you decide:
  1. Clarify why you want to move
  2. Understand the true cost of waiting
  3. Run the “refi later” math
If you're debating whether now is the right time to buy, this episode gives you the clarity to make a confident, informed decision based on your life — not the headlines.
