THE BEST TIME TO BUY IS NOW

Are you waiting for "just the right
time" to get into the real estate
market? Current signs are pointing to
a window of opportunity right now.
Presently we have a larger inventory
of homes for sale making it
more of a balanced market. Buyers
have more homes to choose from
and a greater capacity to negotiate.
Some sellers are even offering incentives
like closing costs, flexible
move-in dates and amenities.
Combine this giving market with
historically low interest rates.The
average 30-year fixed rate mortgage
rate remains near 40-year lows.
With rising interest rates still being
predicted, can you afford not to lock
in now?If interest rates rise one percentage
point it could boost currently
available homes out of your financial
reach.
Real estate is still one of the best
performing and consistent long-term
investments. The many housing
choices available and low interest
rates make it a good time to be the
buyer again!

A HOME IS BEST OF ALL INVESTMENTS

The general consensus that owning a home is the best of all forms of investment was confirmed in a recent study by Wells Fargo Financial.
The study revealed that 72 percent of survey respondents believe that the equity in their home is their most important investment. When asked to select the most important benefit in owning a home, the top choices were that it provides a sense of security and is a great investment. Interestingly, by a 3-to-2 ratio, women were more likely than men to view the most important benefit as security, while men, were more likely to see their home as a good investment.
Age was also a determining factor. Younger homeowners (age 18 to 29) were more inclined than older generations (Baby Boomers, age 42 to 60) and war babies (age 61 and over) to view real estate as an important investment option in their financial portfolios.
