Should You Buy a Home in Washington DC in 2025?

Описание: Should You Buy a Home in Washington DC in 2025?

There is a LOT going on in DC right now. This is not a calm environment by any measure. Some government employees expect layoffs, others are called back into the office, Elon Musk is on the loose, and mortgage rates aren’t supposed to come down this year. Home buyers are saying, “we’re just going to take a pause and wait this out.” This year, should you buy a house, if so, when should you buy and what are the most up to date tips for getting your house.

Times are totally beyond wild right now. But, let’s travel back in time to 1971. In January, Marvin Gaye released “What’s Going On.” The song was about police brutality – a very relevant topic for the early 70’s. In February, NASDAQ was established in New York City. In March, a bomb was detonated in the US Capitol. In April, half a million people marched in DC in protest of US participation in the Vietnam War. In May there were May Day protests of the war and 13,000 anti-war protestors were arrested. The rest of the year had plane crashes, train crashes, Charles Manson’s trial, KKK bombings, racial tensions, murders and the Pentagon Papers published in the New York Times. Wild wild times. Not unlike today. Actually, 1971 sounds worse in a way.

In 1971, mortgage rates were 7.5%. If you were alive in 1971 and said, “I’m going to wait until the world is less chaotic and mortgage rates go down,” guess what? You would not have bought a home until 1993 when rates once again dipped below 7.5%. You would have rented for 22 years – and paid someone else’s mortgage instead of your own!
