When Would Now Be a Good Time to Buy REO, The NY Foreclosure Report

I have a good friend who likes to ask me, "When would now be a good time?"  She says this whenever I am putting something off or stalling on some important task.  "When would now be a good time?" she asks me when I say I want to treat myself to a day at the spa.  "When would now be a good time?" she persists when I say that I really need to make an appointment for my yearly mammogram.  The question is clever because it cuts to the heart of the matter, there will be a moment when "now" will be a good time.  Is it possible that it is "now"?

There are so many things that we putoff in life, actions that we could take that could change the entire trajectory of our lives.  Buying a home is one of those actions that changes a life.  It isn't just about changing an address; it's about putting down roots and making a commitment to your financial future.  Buying a home is about giving yourself and your family long term emotional and financial stability.

Of course there are good moments and not so good moments, relatively speaking, to buy a home.  All of the experts seem to be in agreement that this moment in time is one of the most opportune to purchase a home.  There are so many homes to choose from and they are reasonably priced. Additionally there is a limited time tax credit for qualified buyers, making this moment particularly advantageous to buy a home.  Factor in the savings that can be had by purchasing REO property and all I can ask is, "When would now be a good time to buy a home?"
