Should I buy now or wait for mortgage rates to drop in 2026?

Buying now instead of waiting for rates to drop means locking in a home's current price before more buyers reenter the market once rates do fall, which historically brings more competition rather than easier buying. A buyer who purchases today can also refinance later if rates actually drop. Joel Boss weighs that trade-off with buyers rather than recommending everyone wait.
