Now is the Time to Buy Your Dream

What are home shoppers thinking these days? More than likely, you have noticed that changing market conditions have had a big impact on how consumers view their home buying options. Potential buyers may be waiting for prices to come down, or are betting that interest rates will fall further. Some may think that rising inventories signal that now is not the time to buy a home. And homeowners may have lost confidence that they can sell their home at a profit and trade up. Suffice it to say that the psychology of home shoppers has changed dramatically.

The truth is, we are looking at the best time to buy a home in years for new and existing homes. Interest rates are low, prices are competitive, the economy is healthy and employment is strong. In short, there is no need for consumers to try to time the bottom of the market, because now is an excellent time to buy a home. Here’s proof:

  • Prices have leveled off in the Capital Region making this the best time to buy.
  • Houses are staying on the market longer, creating a wider variety of choice for home shoppers.
  • Mortgage interest rates are still very affordable and remain near historic lows.
  • Many builders are offering value-added incentives to purchase a new home, this won’t last long as the market is getting stronger.
  • A wide range of financing options is available for consumers in all price ranges.
  • The economy is solid and job creation is strong in the Capital Region – which bodes well for future house price appreciation.

Of course, buying a home today means that families will immediately enjoy all of the traditional benefits of homeownership, including an excellent return on investment, tax savings, wealth-building, price stability and achieving the American Dream.
