The Times They Are a-Changin'
Friday, August 5th, 2011 at 1:55pm. 125 Views, 0 Comments.
Historically low interest rates and rock bottom prices are bringing Buyers into the market. With interest rates below 5%, Buyers are thinking it can’t get much better than this. And it’s true, for first-time buyers this may be the opportunity of a lifetime. FHA loans require only 3.5% down and some lenders have special programs that require even less for a down payment. Contributions to Buyers’ closing costs are negotiated to be paid by the Seller for first-time buyers.

It's never too late to buy a new home. Several factors are converging to make this the perfect time to buy a home. Interest rates are at historic lows. Inventory levels are high which means there are plenty of choices for buyers at good prices. And Uncle Sam is offering a 10% tax credit up to maximum of $8,000, for first time or other eligible buyers who have not owned a home in the three years previous to the purchase. Why pay the mortgage on your landlord's property when you can be accumulating equity in the property yourself?
I just want to share a couple of stories of folks who have recently purchased a home and taken advantage of the tax credit.
I received a call from a young woman in her twenties, who was interested in renting a one-bedromm…
