Buyers, don't listen to the media!  With rents in our area having increased 40% in the last 5 years and home prices at 2002-2003 prices, it's truly cheaper to own than rent.  There are affordable loans with low interest rates, lots of homes on the market, and unbelievable deals to be made.  Even if prices drop, it doesn't take much of an interest rate increase for your payment to go up a lot.  Now it the time to buy!  With so many people renting that used to be homeowners, that will put an even greater pressure on rental prices to go up.  More demand equals higher rent.  Call or text me and let's discuss your options!  805-587-3688.
