Why wait?

Hi Home Buyers,

So you've been reading the paper and watching the news and it looks ugly out there. It seems as though the sky is falling.

Is that the reality of the situation? I think not. We have an affordability index of 45%. So 45 % of our neighbors can afford to buy a home.

Our local communities have first time buyer programs It's a great time to be a first time buyer.
Home prices are down, so you have more choices of homes that will fit into the guidelines. So if you are paying the average amount of rent that a house rents for, you could be in your own home.

Oh my............what if I buy and the price of my house goes down?
Well, what do you have to gain in paying rent?
Are you getting a tax write off for making someone else's payment?
Do you have the satisfaction of home ownership when you send your rent check in?
Are you building lasting memories in a place you will moving out of next month?


OK, the price of your house goes down........ Are you planning on selling the house this next month? The price of the house only matters if someone is going to buy it. If you are planning on spending the next year or decade in your home it really doesn't matter till you sell if prices are going up or down.

Buying a home can be an investment, but the reality of it is, it is a place to live, have the holidays, entertain your family and friends, a place to live, love and laugh.

Happy Home BUYING,

Karen
