Waiting for Lower Interest Rates Could Cost Central Florida Homebuyers More, Says Local Realtor
Rezul News/10709704
ORLANDO, Fla. - Rezul -- As mortgage rates fluctuate and potential buyers hope for a better deal, Phil Holliday of Preferred Real Estate Brokers is urging Central Florida homebuyers to think twice before waiting for interest rates to drop.
"Many buyers believe that sitting on the sidelines will save them money," Phil explains, "but in reality, waiting just one year could cost them tens of thousands due to rising home prices—even if rates improve."
According to Phil, even a modest 5% increase in home prices can outweigh the benefits of a one-point drop-in interest rates. Here's a real-world example he shares:
Cost Comparison: Buy Now vs. Wait a Year
Scenario A – Buy Now:
Scenario B – Wait 12 Months:
While the monthly savings may appear attractive, buyers will likely pay more overall in the form of:
"You can always refinance if rates fall," Phil says. "But you can't rewind the market and get last year's price. Locking in today's value while building equity now is often the smarter play."

Phil encourages prospective buyers to evaluate their options carefully and not let fear of interest rates keep them from long-term financial gain. He offers customized consultations to help buyers make informed decisions.

Cost Comparison: Buy Now vs. Wait a Year
Scenario A – Buy Now:
- Home Price: $400,000
- Interest Rate: 6.75%
- Monthly Mortgage (P&I): ~$2,334
- Total Interest Paid Over 5 Years: ~$118,000
Scenario B – Wait 12 Months:
- Projected Price: $420,000 (5% increase)
- Interest Rate: 5.75%
- Monthly Mortgage (P&I): ~$2,212
- Total Interest Over 5 Years: ~$104,000
While the monthly savings may appear attractive, buyers will likely pay more overall in the form of:
- A higher purchase price
- Increased down payment and taxes
- Lost equity from appreciation during the wait
- Greater buyer competition when rates eventually drop
