With all the chaos and confusion that the news has been reporting
you may not feel that this is a good time to be buying a house. The
truth is that if your finances are in order, this is the perfect time
to buy a home. New homebuyers who qualify for the Federal Housing Tax
Credit and obtain the record low interest rates will save substantially.
The Tax Credit is being extended to first time homebuyers, defined
as those who haven't owned a principal residence in the past three
years. This credit does not have to be repaid and is 10% of the price
of the home up to $8,000. Who in their right minds would throw away
that kind of cash if they could buy a home right now?
Adding to your incentive are the low interest rates available to
buyers. Dependent upon your credit rating and down payment amount,
some buyers are obtaining interest rates as low as 5% on a fixed rate
mortgage. The savings in your monthly mortgage payments are
remarkable. Many find that owning is less expensive than renting. Of
course, it is also a buyer's market as people who made poor decisions
in purchasing more home than they could afford are trying to get out
from under their debt. Inventory is high and sellers are eager to
sell; it is the perfect combination.
This is the time to take a close look at buying a home. Things
couldn't be better if you are in the market to purchase. Give Chandra
Hall a call today and let her help you find the perfect home.
