Buying Now vs. Waiting: Why Waiting Often Costs More Than You Think
Most people focus on today’s price. But in San Diego, the higher cost is often time. Historically, home values tend to rise over time—which means the person who starts building equity earlier often comes out ahead.
|
Starting sooner can stack wealth in multiple ways:
- Appreciation (your home value can grow over time)
- Loan paydown (every payment reduces your balance)
- Potential tax advantages (depends on your situation)
- Pride of ownership + community roots
- More options later (sell, rent it out, trade up)

Here’s the blunt reality: many people say, “I’ll keep saving until I can buy the home I really want.” But over the last 50 years, values have averaged roughly ~6% per year nationwide. That’s why what used to be $250,000 becomes $1,000,000. Most of us can’t save as quickly as prices appreciate.
Yes—HOA fees can be frustrating. But condos can appreciate too, and many buyers can purchase with as low as 3%–3.5% down, depending on the loan program and eligibility.

Selling Now vs. Waiting: The Real Question Is Your Options
If you already own a home, the smartest move isn’t guessing. It’s comparing: what would your home sell for today versus what it could rent for — side-by-side. That’s how you decide whether to cash out, keep it as a rental, or buy something else.
