If you are considering buying a home, there is no better time than now. The real estate market is currently favorable for buyers, with low-interest rates and a good selection of homes available. Here are some reasons why now is the best time to buy a home: 1. Mortgage Rates Mortgage rates are not forever. They have increased but will decrease over the years. However, we are NOT at historical high rates. Now is the time where lenders, sellers and builders are willing to NEGOTIATE to buy down points, pay closing costs and still get the lowest pricde on a home. 2. Homes Available For YOU The inventory may be low because not everybody is willing to put their home on the market. But those are selling are willing to NEGOTIATE to get you to buy. Get going since there are LESS people in the market place you can buy what you want and not have to overpay for a home like we did last year. 3. Favorable Negotiating Power With less homes available, buyers have more negotiating power. Sellers may be more willing to negotiate on price, repairs, or other terms of the sale to close the deal. 4. Building Equity Owning a home is a smart investment because of the equity you build over time. As you pay down your mortgage, you are building equity in your home, which can be used for a variety of purposes such as home improvements, college tuition, or retirement. 5. Tax Benefits Homeowners can take advantage of several tax benefits, such as deducting mortgage interest and property taxes from their federal income tax. This can result in significant savings each year. In conclusion, if you are considering buying a home, now is the best time to do so. With creative financing options, motivated sellers, favorable negotiating power, building equity, and tax benefits, there are many advantages to becoming a homeowner.
