US job growth remains solid as recently as September as the Fed fights against inflation, adding to growing themes that point to a strengthening nationwide economy. According to the National Association of Home Builders, “In the nine months of 2023, nearly 2.3 million jobs were created, and monthly employment growth averaged 260,000 per month, following the average monthly growth of 399,000 in 2022.” That’s back-to-back years of immense job growth. But what does this improvement to our economy mean for those interested in buying a new home?

The uptick in US job numbers is excellent news for prospective homebuyers! A thriving job market is often indicative of a stable economy, and such times are beneficial for making significant investments, like purchasing a home. Making such financial strides can come with many benefits, such as the ability to begin building equity.

For those diving into homeownership for the first time, purchasing a home at a great fixed rate is often top of mind, as your monthly principal & interest payment will remain constant.

If you’re interested in buying a new home but are worried now isn’t the right time, you’re not alone. According to the Fannie Mae Home Purchase Sentiment Index released in September 2023, more than 80% of potential homebuyers think it’s better to wait. However, homebuyers may not realize one of the main reasons why now is still a great time to buy: interest rates. In 2021, they were at 2.96%, a historic low, but have steadily increased to over 7% as of today.†

This means waiting could cost you more. But if you’re in search of securing a mortgage rate lower than the current federal one, a new home may be your answer.
