IS NOW THE TIME TO BUY RATHER THAN LEASE?

Read a great active rain post this morning by Gabe Sanders. In the post Gabe sites this interesting fact "In 1963, when possibly your parents bought their first home, it cost 43 percent of their income to finance the purchase. Today, if you're the average person in those statistics it will cost you 22% of your monthly income to finance your new home."

This is one of the greatest buyers markets seen in decades. With monthly Lease costs on the rise it may well be time to look into buying. Many people who worry they cannot buy because of glitches in their credit, may discover there are good lending programs that can help. If you are considering buying rather than leasing in the Austin Texas area, contact us: alanmaz1@earthlink.net We will send you some current listings and we can reccomend an excellent lender to work with you and help you determine what kind of loan would work best for you.

Alan: This is so true. We purhased our first home back in the early 1960's; seemed we had to save forever for the down payment. There are some mighty nice homes on the market that are available for qualifying folks. One thing we know folks will enjoy home ownership; it's the American way.

Havea nice Memorial Day.
