Why Now is a Great Time to Buy a Home (Even if Eggs Cost a Fortune)

Let’s face it—everything feels expensive these days. Gas, groceries, and yes, even eggs. You walk into the store, see the price of a dozen eggs, and suddenly wonder if you should be investing in chickens instead of real estate.

But before you start designing a backyard coop, let’s talk about something else that’s going up in value—homes. While it’s easy to get caught up in the headlines about interest rates and rising costs, there are still plenty of great reasons to buy a home right now.

1. Rents Are Scrambling Up Faster Than Egg Prices

If you think eggs are expensive, take a look at rent prices. Unlike eggs, which will (hopefully) drop back to normal, rent prices tend to only go one way—up. The longer you wait, the more you’ll pay someone else’s mortgage instead of building equity in your own home.

2. Real Estate Is a Long-Term Investment

Unlike that carton of eggs that might sit in your fridge for a few weeks, real estate is a long-term asset that appreciates in value over time. Even with fluctuations in interest rates, home values historically increase, helping you build wealth and stability.

3. You Can Always Refinance – But You Can’t Re-Rent at Yesterday’s Price

Interest rates may be higher than they were a couple of years ago, but buying now means you start building equity immediately. If rates drop in the future, you can refinance. But if home prices keep rising, waiting could cost you more than a few dozen eggs.

4. A Home Comes with Perks (That a Carton of Eggs Doesn’t)

Sure, eggs are versatile—you can scramble, fry, or poach them. But a house? That’s where you create memories, enjoy your own space, and finally get to paint the walls whatever color you want. (Try doing that in a rental without losing your security deposit!)
