But they aren't the most important ones. These are: because you want one, because you need one, because you can afford one, and because you can get the home you want right now. These reasons for buying trump all others, no question about it. But aside from want, need, and can get, a few other situations make the timing right. If you haven't saved much toward a down payment, or if you are a single parent or have other qualifying circumstances, you could be eligible for a state of federal grant that would cover the down payment. Your real estate agent is familiar with these grants and can guide you through the application process. Now is the time. Look around, make an offer on the home of your choice, and start on the way to becoming a homeowner.Good prices, low interest, and many houses to choose from: These are good reasons to buy a home.
You can deduct property taxes you pay as a home owner. And over time, the value of your home will increase.

A good blog reminder in determining motivation. We need to get away from the "shoulds" and "musts", to the "Could you?", "Would you?" and "When?" approach, making it all about them.
