MarketWATCH Turlock %%Date%%

 

Hi %%FirstName%%,

It was great to hear from you who have been thinking about buying a home. We love the stories, the humanity that binds us all, in discovering the “why” of things.  As we started last week with the question, “Why am I buying a home in the first place?”  The second question is equally as important in determining if purchasing a home NOW will be a good fiscal decision, for a large financial investment.

Where are home values headed?

According to the latest Home Price Index, home values are projected to increase by 5.3% over the next 12 months. What does that mean to you? Simply put, if you are planning on buying a home that costs $250,000 today, that same home will cost you an additional $13,250 if you wait till next year. Your down payment will need to be higher as well to account for the higher home price.

As you consider the question, let's take a look at what's happening in our local real estate market this week

This week in Turlock, we saw 15 listings added, ranging in price from $190,000 - $435,000 and in size from 1,063 sf - 2,845 sf. In addition, there was 1 short sale property, this week.
