Deep dives
Consider the long-term commitment to a real estate purchase
When buying a home, it is important to commit to a longer-term decision, even if the purchase is made at the height of the market. This allows for potential market rebound and equity growth over time. If considering an upgrade in the next few years, it may be wise to view the current home as a stepping stone for the next 4-6 years.
Keep your financial foundation strong
Regardless of market conditions or predictions, maintaining a strong financial foundation is crucial. Building liquidity, cash reserves, and following the financial order of operations provides flexibility and peace of mind, no matter what happens in the market.
Focus on time in the market, not timing the market
Attempting to predict market crashes or timing investment contributions based on market conditions is not a recommended strategy. Instead, focus on consistently investing over time and maintaining a well-diversified portfolio. Having a long-term investment mindset allows for potential growth and wealth accumulation over the years.
