Mortgage Rates On The Rise ~ Time to Get off The Fence

Time to get off the fence and buy.  Rates are going up and with the extension of the first time home buyer tax credit through April 30, 2010 it will never be a better time.  Not to mention that winter time is the best time to pick up a deal.  Especially on a home that is sitting vacant.  Sellers often cant bear the thought of paying heating costs and the worries that go along with owning a vacant home in the winter.  Plowing, shoveling, frozen pipes if the heat does go out is often to much to bear.  Inventory is lower but there are still some great deals.
