With all the noise about interest rates, inflation, and uncertainty, many first-time buyers are asking: Is now the right time to buy a home in Bastrop? The answer: For many people, yes—now may be the smartest time.
1. Rates Are Still Historically Reasonable
- 6–7% rates are normal by historical standards
- Waiting could mean higher home prices and more competition
2. Less Buyer Competition in 2025
- Fewer bidding wars = more room to negotiate
- More seller concessions (like closing cost help or rate buydowns)
3. Home Prices Are Stabilizing, Not Crashing
- Bastrop is growing, not declining
- Builders are slowing, which limits future inventory
4. You Can Always Refinance Later
- “Marry the house, date the rate” still holds true
- Many lenders are offering free or low-cost refinances within 1–2 years
5. Rent Is Still a Losing Game
- Bastrop rent averages $1,800+/mo
- That’s money you’ll never get back
