Peoples Home Equity encourages first-time home buyers to prepare by getting approved for a home loan before property values may go higher.
Peoples Home Equity advises home buyers to start paying serious attention to the historical average number of building permits since 1960. According to TradingEconomics.com, building permits have averaged 1,370 thousand for since 1960. Tuesday’s building permits number of 1,034 thousand remains below the 53 year average, implying there is still room for more permits/demand more housing.

With unemployment declining towards 6.5%, and the housing market improving as shown with Tuesdays building permits growth, it’s only a matter of time before rates rise further.
Peoples Home Equity encourages prospective home buyers to pay attention to mortgage rates in the next few months.

Property values may not decline much this winter due to low inventory, even though seasonal weakness is still expected. However, the bidding cannot begin until the mortgage applicant knows what their credit line is, especially first time home buyers. Hence, it’s important to get approved for a loan before even shopping for a home. Once approved, shopping for credit approved home buyers becomes easier as sellers are more willing to accept lower offers in the winter.
