Buying a house is usually a smart financial investment. When you're a homeowner, your monthly payment helps you acquire equity so you eventually pay off your loan and own a valuable property free and clear. Ideally, you will also see the value of your home increase over time, which means your house provides not just a place to live but also a way to grow your net worth.But, if you're buying a house right now, you're facing some challenges. One issue is that mortgage rates are higher than they have been in years, and another is that there's a possibility of a housing market crash following a buying frenzy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
