Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Devin James: In 2021, we saw buyers upgrading to larger homes, taking advantage of 3% interest rates to afford an extra 300+ square feet.Today, smaller homes are selling much faster as higher rates make additional square footage less affordable.While rates are historically average, I don’t see them dropping significantly.

If you can come up with an extra 1.5% and finance with a conventional loan you have none of those downsides, a lower monthly payment and PMI only until you hit 20% equity

With some more math, you’ll see that the extra amount in dollars is not that much compared to the total amount of interest paid.
