Could this be a good time to by a house? It may be the best time in years. For some reason, home seekers seem most interested when prices are high. But just as we all like to see a "20% off" sale on our favorite consumer items or groceries, we should be buying a house when they are selling cheap.
Of course, if you have a home you may want to hesitate to move up to a larger one. Given the number of people in over their heads on their mortgages, it might make sense to be cautious. But if you are hesitating because you don't want to sell your current home at these lower prices, think again.
Of course, if you already have a home you might hesitate to move up to a larger one now. Given the number of people in over their heads on their mortgages, it makes sense to be cautious. But if you are hesitating because you don't want to sell your current home at these lower prices, think again.
Now, if you have the financial ability, you might want to purchase the new home without selling your existing house. You can rent out your current property and wait for until you can get more for it. But if you need to sell to buy, now is the time.
Not since the Great Depression has there been such a decline in the prices of real estate. You can call it a crisis, but it's really just a "sale," so yes, it's may be a good time to buy a house. Of course there is no guarantee that you would be buying at the bottom of the market, but at the very least you know you are paying substantially less than you would have a couple years ago.
What if you're a first time home buyer? Well it makes sense to buy something when it's on sale. Interest rates are still low (as of late 2008) . And although it is tougher to get financing now, this isn't all bad. You can feel safer knowing that banks and other lenders are no longer allowing borrowers to get mortgages they can't afford.
Houses on sale, interest rates still near all-time lows, and lenders no longer pushing mortgages that get you into trouble - this may be the best time to buy a house.
