    What this means for you

    If you wait 3 years to buy a $450,000 home, and the market appreciates at 4% per year while rates rise by 0.5% annually, that same home will cost $506,189. Your monthly payment will increase by $826 every single month, and you will have missed out on $56,189 in pure equity wealth.
