A high inflation rate means prices rise across the board so it is reasonable for someone to say “Yes”, but while home prices aren’t an exception, this should not be the reason keeping you from buying a home in 2022. We are aware of the appreciation that has occurred in the real estate market for the past couple of years, and the experts say we can expect that increase to continue in 2022, though maybe not as dramatically.

In this period of record-breaking, rising consumer costs, homeownership offers the one fixed overhead expense you can rely on with a fixed mortgage. As James Royal, Senior Wealth Management Reporter at Bankrate stated:

“Sure, property taxes will rise, and other expenses may creep up, but your monthly housing payment remains the same.”

With rent control going away, renters are in an even more precarious position. Ali Wolf, Chief Economist at Zonda, explains:

“You want to think through where you can put your money, so it does not lose value. Housing is commonly looked at as a good inflation hedge…”

Even if you cannot qualify for a conventional mortgage through the normal channels of banks and other lending institutions, there is still the private mortgage lending arena to consider. Sun Pacific Mortgage offers private money mortgages to Borrowers and Buyers who otherwise might not be able to qualify for a loan.

Despite the present inflationary economic state that the country is wrestling with today, most Americans agree that Real Estate shines as the most secure place to protect your wealth.

Inflation has reached its highest level in 40 years. We have all painfully experienced the increases in goods, services, housing costs, and more. The only one of these items that can have a locked-in price is housing because your monthly payment is shielded from escalation. James Royal, Senior Wealth Management Reporter at Bankrate, explained it like this:

“A fixed-rate mortgage allows you to maintain the biggest portion of housing expenses at the same payment. Sure, property taxes will rise, and other expenses may creep up, but your monthly housing payment remains the same.”

Home ownership eliminates the dread that today’s renters are suffering because of huge jumps in rents. Various cities in the country have seen increases as much as 50%!

As a homeowner, you have seen the record-breaking increases in appreciation just over the past couple of years. As prices rise, so does the value of your home, making buying a home a great hedge during periods of inflation.

In short, when you lock in a mortgage payment, you shield your housing cost from increases, and you own an asset that typically gains value with time.
