2015 Real Estate Market - Buying a Home versus Renting
Some people have not yet purchased a home because they are uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage.
Unless you are living somewhere rent free, you are paying a mortgage - either your mortgage or your landlord’s.

“Households must consume housing whether they own or rent. Not even accounting for more favorable tax treatment of owning, homeowners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while households that rent pay down the … (0 comments)

In 2015 Real Estate is Heading in the Right Direction
The housing market has taken a great turn toward recovery over the last few years.
The opinions of the American public toward real estate took longer to recover, until recently.
For the first time since 2006, Americans have an overall positive view of real estate, giving the industry a 12% positive ranking in a Gallup poll.
Americans were asked to rate 24 different business sectors and industries on a five-point scale ranging from "very positive" to "very negative."
The poll was first conducted in 2001, and has … (0 comments)

2015 Home Buying - Mortgage Rate Projections
2014 finished with the 30 year fixed mortgage rate at 3.87% as per Freddie Mac.
This is very close to the historic lows in the spring of 2013.
However, the Mortgage Bankers Association projects mortgage rates to be about 5% by the end of 2015.
The website Investopedia agrees and gives some perspective on the 5% rate:
“Barring another financial and housing market implosion, and if the economy continues to improve, expect interest rates to rise in the latter half of 2015.
If they do jump to the 5% range … (0 comments)
