Our housing market is slowly changing but, you may not have noticed:
-Interest rates are up and down lately and may impact the opportunity for many people to buy. If we begin a slow upward trend in interest rates, many will find their mortgage payments too high to qualify.
-While home prices are stabilizing, in some states, they are actually starting to rise up again. If possible for you to buy before the market climbs much higher, you might be on your way to a new financial future. Remember: paging rent is not building wealth but helping to pay someone else’s mortgage. Sometimes, for only a few hundred dollars more a month, you may be able to buy your own
It may behoove you to sell your home to move up. The neighborhood you couldn't qualify for in 2007/8 may be more affordable now, allowing you to relocate where you really wish to live and be closer to work.
I can assist you with your home search and provide excellent lenders to help determine your ideal price range for your new home.
