Instead of trying to “time” the market – just be patient.
Over the next few years, Goldman Sachs projects that national home price growth will align with its historical average, which has been +4.7% per year since 1975. However, Moody’s anticipates a period of sideways movement.
The recent pandemic housing boom and mortgage rate shock have stretched affordability relative to income. Moody’s and similar groups suggest that this affordability pressure could constrain short-term home price growth. Meanwhile, analysts at Goldman Sachs believe that the lack of supply will outweigh affordability concerns, pushing national home prices slightly higher over the next few years.
Trying to time the market is always tricky, but patience pays off. California stands out as a great investment as well as a great place to live, ranking number 2 in the US for home price appreciation over 5-year and 10-year periods.
