The struggle is real but don’t let it stop you from going after your dreams. Yes rates and home values are high. You still need to qualify under program guidelines though. So while you qualify for the worst case mortgage payment, when rates come down, you’ll already be home and you can refinance into more affordable terms. The biggest thing to remember is that when the rates do come down, you will see bidding wars on homes again. This means you will pay more for the same home you walked away from today.
