One Critical Benefit in Using a Buyer's Agent

One of the most valuable assets you have when you have a good Buyer's Agent working in your court, is to have access to a solid perspective on the market.  I met a buyer this week who was hesitant to move forward because of the upward flux of prevailing interest rates.  While it's true interest rates are creeping up, it's important to keep things in perspective.   Even a half percent increase on a $100k loan will cost a buyer less than a $1 a week.  More importantly one should consider where interest rates were just a few years ago.  A great visual for what interest rates have done in the past 30 or so years is the bar graph by year that FNMA makes available.  It's a great way to show buyers that interest rates are still at historic lows... Take a look at the real story on interest rates and I think you'll agree.  2014 could be the best year to buy a home!
