The Cost of Waiting 1 Year to Buy Your Home | Home Buying Tips 2025

Thinking about waiting to buy a home? It could cost you more than you think. In this video, I break down the true cost of delaying your home purchase by just one year. Using a real example from a family I recently helped, I compare a $750,000 home with 10% down at today’s 3% interest rate versus next year’s potential 4%. That small 1% increase could cost you an extra $135,000 over 30 years! 😱

We also talk about bidding wars—what’s the real difference between offering $10k vs $50k over asking price? You’ll be surprised at how affordable it can still be with smart planning.

🏡 Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or just on the fence, this video gives you real numbers and a better understanding of your buying power.
