Matt's Market Minute Thinking about buying a new home? Wondering if now is the right time? With prices rising and mortgage rates expected to rise in 2021, the cost of a home both short and long-term is expected to go up. Not only will you pay a bigger down payment, take out a larger loan, have a higher interest rate, and a higher mortgage payment, you will also miss out on building equity in your new home!
