Great Time to Buy/ New Low Rates

When times are hard it is understandable that we are afraid to make any moves. My husband and I thought about moving closer to Atlanta because the cost of gas for my husband to commute was equal to about 1/2 our mortgage. The problem is, it isn't a good time to sell your home, and I need to sell my home before I buy a new one. There are many people in the same boat. But, it's still a great time to buy! So if you are in an apartment or you don't need to sell an existing home to buy, now is a great time to buy.

Some people are waiting for the bottom to fall out. The problem with that is how do we know when the bottom has fallen out? When the prices have already gone up. We can't predict when it will happen, but we will know when it is over. When do you want to buy? While the prices are going down or when the prices are going up?

I just received a message yesterday from a friend in the mortgage business that the interest rates have dropped to 5 1/2%. It's been a while since we've seen them that low. If you are thinking about buying a home, now is the time to buy. With great prices and low interest the timing couldn't be better.
