The mareket is heating up and now is a great time to buy. And, what’s more, tomorrow will be a great time to own, because the fundamental strength of homeownership hasn’t changed.
Here are 10 reasons:
- You can get a good deal. Prices are as low as they are going to get for a while. And prices are at a level that makes sense for people’s income.
- Mortgages are cheap. At 3.75% on average for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, your costs to own are down.
- You can save on taxes. When you add up the deductions for mortgage interest and others, the cost of owning can drop below renting for a comparable place.
- Your money is not wasted on rent. The one benefit to owning that never changes is that you can paint your walls orange if you want (generally speaking; there might be some community restrictions). How many landlords will let you do that?
- You can get a better home. In some markets, it’s simply the case that the nicest places are for-sale homes and condos.
- Home buying offers some inflation protection. Historically, appreciation over time outpaces inflation.
- It’s risk capital. If the economy picks up, you stand to benefit from that, even if you’re goal is just to have a nice place to live.
- It’s forced savings. A part of your payment each month goes to equity.
