The window to take advantage of favorable interest rates to purchase a new residence is rapidly closing. Buyers must act quickly to avoid significant increases in monthly mortgage payments.
Last week, the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage jumped to 3.02%, according to Freddie Mac, as cited by the Wall Street Journal. This marks the first time the rate eclipsed 3% since July 2020. It is also the fifth consecutive week the benchmark rate increased or stayed flat.
“Higher interest rates translate into larger monthly payments,” the WSJ article states.
In Miami, the combination of rising interest rates, soaring home prices and lack of single-family inventory make condominiums the best opportunity for today’s buyers to purchase a residence in the area at a reasonable value. With that in mind, now is the ideal time for single-family owners to cash in by selling their homes at the top of the market and upgrade their lifestyle in a brand-new condominium at Merrick Manor in Coral Gables.
For instance, Merrick Manor’s limited inventory of move-in ready, never before lived in condos includes Residence 718, a one-bedroom, one-bathroom model that is available for $499,990. Where else can you find a move-in ready, designed and furnished luxury one-bedroom in the City Beautiful for under $500,000?
