When Is the Right Time to Buy? Trusting the Process (and God’s Timing)

Written by Gillian Gooch • May 9, 2025

One of the most common questions I hear as a Realtor® is, “Do you think now is a good time to buy?” And honestly, my answer is almost always the same: It depends — but when the time is right for you, you’ll feel peace about it. Real estate decisions are deeply personal, and no two journeys look exactly the same. Some people are excited and ready to buy their first home. Others are unsure, weighing finances, family, and the future. That’s where I come in — not to pressure or push, but to guide, inform, and support you in making a decision that truly feels right. I’ve learned that trusting the process means being patient, doing the homework, and allowing space for God’s timing to unfold. I’ve seen clients find the perfect home after months of searching, and others find it on the first showing — and both were exactly how it was meant to happen.

As your agent, I promise to help you feel empowered and educated — not rushed. I’ll work alongside you, pray over every step, and walk with you until the right door opens. Because when it does, you’ll know it.
