    Have you been thinking of purchasing a home this Fall?  Here are four great reasons to consider buying a home today, instead of waiting.

     

    1. Prices Will Continue to Rise

    CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Insights Report shows that home prices have appreciated by 3.6% over the last 12 months. The same report predicts prices will continue to increase at a rate of 5.8% over the next year.

    The bottom in home prices has come and gone. Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting no longer makes sense.

     

    2. Mortgage Interest Rates Are Projected to Increase Next Year

    The Primary Mortgage Market Survey from Freddie Mac indicates that interest rates for a 30-year mortgage have recently hovered just above 3.5%. This is great news for buyers in the market right now, because low interest rates increase your purchasing power – but don’t wait! Most experts predict rates will rise over the next 12 months. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the National Association of Realtors are in unison, projecting that rates will increase by this time next year.

    An increase in rates will impact your monthly mortgage payment. A year from now, your housing expense will increase if a mortgage is needed to buy your next home.

     

    3. Either Way, You Are Paying a Mortgage 

    There are some renters who haven’t purchased a home yet because they’re uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage. Everyone should realize that, unless you’re living rent-free, you are paying a mortgage – either yours or that of your landlord.

    As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings’ that allows you to have equity in your home you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity.

    Are you ready to put your housing costs to work for you?

     

    4. It’s Time to Move Forward in your Journey

    The ‘cost’ of a home is determined by two major components: the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It appears both are on the rise.

    But what if they weren’t?  Would you wait?

    Look at the actual reason you’re buying and decide if it is worth waiting. Whether you want to have a great place for your children to grow up, you want your family to be safer, or you just want to have control over custom renovations, maybe now is the time to buy.

    Ready to Purchase Your Dream Home? 

    Buying a home sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings.
