Why June 2025 Might Be the Perfect Time to Buy a Home

As someone who has bought a home during one of the most uncertain markets in recent memory, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to make the leap. Rates were high, inventory was low, and headlines were filled with fear. But here’s what I learned — the best time to buy isn’t when the market is “perfect.” It’s when your life calls for it.  (shameless plug of my daughters getting the key to our home) 

If you're in that space now — considering a move, building your future, or wanting to stop renting and start investing in yourself — here’s why June 2025 may quietly be one of the best opportunities for buyers in recent years.

📉 Inventory Is Up, Buyer Competition Is Down

• Buyer activity has softened — not because people don’t want to buy, but because they’re waiting for the "perfect moment" that may never come.

This quiet market means homes are sitting longer, sellers are more open to negotiations, and you're less likely to get caught in a bidding war. If you're prepared, this gives you a real edge.

💸 Rates Are High — But Prices Haven’t Skyrocketed

Yes, mortgage rates are still hovering around 6.7%, but they’ve finally stabilized. And here's the key — home prices are expected to rise by 3% this year and 4% next year.

That means waiting could cost you more in the long run, both in home prices and potential equity gain.

If you're in a financial position to buy now, locking in a home before appreciation accelerates may be smarter than trying to “time the bottom” — especially since refinances are always an option when rates dip.

💪 I Bought in a Hard Market — and Here’s Why I’d Do It Again

When I bought my home, the market felt brutal. There was fear, uncertainty, and a lot of noise about waiting. But I knew my goals — stability, building wealth through equity, and creating a home. And guess what?

• I negotiated credits and repairs that wouldn’t be possible in a frenzied seller’s market.

• I had time to think through each property — not rush.

• I got the home that was right for me, on my timeline.

And that’s the message I want to share today: The right time to buy is when it’s right for you.
