Now is an excellent time to buy a home.

See Marc Roth article at BusinessWeek.com ~ "Now's the Time to Buy Your Dream House" ~ click here for article. 

Why is now an excellent time? 

• If you have a down payment and can qualify for the loan, now is a great time for you. 
• Mortgage rates remain incredibly low. 
• Home prices are very low.
• Selection of homes is high for buyers.

This makes sense and is encouraging news for homebuyers, especially first timers (or those who have not owned a home for the past three years) who can take advantage of the $8,000 income tax credit.

The National Association of Realtors recent article supported this further ~ Housing Experts: Now is the Perfect Time to Buy (click here) .

So we have good real estate news and lots of things to talk about.
