Cost-of-Waiting Calculator
See what a higher price or a higher interest rate later actually does to a monthly payment. Enter your own numbers below. These aren't predictions, just the math on two scenarios you choose.
Buying now
Waiting until later
Principal & interest only. Excludes taxes, insurance, PMI, and HOA dues. The "later" price and rate are numbers you choose to compare, not a forecast or a promise of future market conditions. An estimate, not a loan quote. Confirm real numbers with your lender. Rate fields default to a recent Freddie Mac 30-year fixed rate average; update them to whatever rate you and your client are actually comparing.
Why this is worth running with real numbers
"Wait and see" feels like the safe choice, but it isn't free. A higher price, a higher rate, or both, shows up permanently in the monthly payment for as long as the loan lasts. This tool doesn't predict where prices or rates are headed; it simply does the math on two scenarios you pick, so the decision is based on real numbers instead of a feeling.
