If you are like most first time home buyers, you've probably listened to friends, family and co-workers advice many of whom are encouraging you to buy a home. However you may still wonder if buying a home is the right thing for you to do. Relax having reservations is normal. The more educated you become on buying a home the more comfortable you will be doing it. Here are eight reason to help you start getting educated. See the definitions for each at www.homebuying.com or e-mail for more of the explanations.

Find a real estate agent and interview her/him. Ask if they know the area and call or e-mail a mortgage broker to see if now is the time to buy for you.

Also, interest rates sure makes it more appealing for home buyers & owners considering refinancing and should motivate them. In the article Time to Get Off the Fence and Into a Home, the same message comes in an atricle from NYTimes.com offered by Your Money. Another source with this message was from Smart Money, Time to refinance -- or buy a home? Good information to pass on to our buyers.

Happy Holidays!
