The Numbers Don’t Lie!

If you were to wait to buy a home instead of taking advantage of the current lower interest rates it could cost you over $100,000 over the course of your 30 year loan!!  Yikes!! That’s a lot of money that could go towards a new car, a vacation home or into a retirement fund!

Let’s take a look at the numbers, if you find a home for $250,000 today at the interest rate of 4.12%, your payments would roughly be around $1200 per month. 

However if you wait until next year to buy that same home, with the home price rising to $270,000 and interest rates up at 5.3%, it would cost you roughly $1500 per month.  Over the life of the 30year loan that’s over $100,000!!

A savings of $3600 each year could be your vacation money, or improvements to your new home.  I’m sure you can think of more productive ways of spending that money!

So what’s stopping you?

With Home Price Increases Slowing, It's a Great time to Buy Your Dream Home!

The S&P home price index recently posted that there was a 9.3% annual increase in May down from the 10.8% in April.  The rate in November 2013 was as high as 13.7% before starting its slow descent.  

This is good news for both buyers and sellers.  Especially since some buyers would otherwise have been left on the sidelines with the continued faster increase in prices.

The slower home price increase is also a sign of the housing market returning to normal.  Since the market is stabilizing, this is a great time for buyers to make their purchase.

Recently Harvard’s Joint Center of Housing Studies revealed five financial reasons people should consider buying a home. 

1.) Housing is typically the one leveraged investment available.

2.) You're paying for housing whether you own or rent. 

3.) Owning is usually a form of “forced savings”.

4.) There are substantial tax benefits to owning.

5.) Owning is a hedge against inflation.

So, what’s holding you back?

Invest in yourself and your family’s future.

Buy a home and start building equity in your future!
