In our latest podcast episode, we question mortgage expert David Jackson about interest rates, mortgage prices and the housing market to discover whether now is a good time to buy a home…
Interest rates are high, there is a election threatening and the real estate market is ‘moderate’ according to economists. With so much uncertainty, is it a good time to buy a home?
What Mortgage Editor Kate Saines asked this question to a mortgage broker with 21 years of experience in the industry. David Jackson, owner and founder of Prestige Private Finance, has seen many ups and downs in the mortgage and real estate world, so he has seen firsthand how these events have played out in the past for his many clients.
Although he doesn’t have a crystal ball, he does have many tips on how first-time buyers and movers can judge when the time is right to move and what they need to make the home buying process go as smoothly as possible.
Topics covered in this podcast include:
- Is now a good time to buy a house and if not, when is the ideal time to move?
- How can starters and movers prepare for taking out a mortgage?
- What will happen to mortgage interest rates next year?
