5 Reasons to buy a home right now!

  1. Interest rates. With rates on a 30 year loan around 5.5% - 5.75% now is the time to lock into a great loan. Just check out the history of rates over the last 35 years - http://www.freeomahainfo.com/buying.asp
  2. It's winter. This is a great time of year to buy a home. What better motivation for a seller then not to have to shovel snow at two places or pay for heat at two homes.
  3. Inventory and Market Time. People tend to be busy with other things during the winter months such as Christmas, New Year and spending time with family. Homes tend to be on the market a little longer and that means there might be a great deal waiting for you on a home that has nothing wrong with it.
  4. Buy at the bottom of the cycle. You have heard it a million times. Buy low and sell high. Buy when everyone else is selling. Well, here is your chance. Three years ago all you heard about was how great real estate was. Now all you hear is how bad things are and the sky is falling. The Omaha market average selling price was only off by less then 1% last year. Use this national cycle to your advantage.
  5. Great Deals. Now is the time to hunt out the great deals and wait for the cycle to continue moving. In January, we helped a few buyers hunt down some awesome deals that will not be around that much longer. Start looking today at http://www.freeomahainfo.com/

Scott and Amy:  You give some very good reasons for a buyer to get off the fence.  Now really is the best buyer's market in the last seven years.  Thanks for sharing.
