In This Economy, There is One Place Where Your Dollar Goes Further Than Anywhere Else
What an elegant blog post by Chris Ann Cleland, and all points she makes are true in Massachusetts.
When we go to supermarket and see "this weeks' sale" ads, we tend to grab more than we need, But when it comes to housing market - we might wait it out too long, and the deal might be gone. Mortgage rates are low, and thus offer excellent savings over the years you own your home.
This and more topics will be covered in our Home Buyers Seminar on October 12th 2010, that RE/MAX HomeFinders are presenting to you in affiliation with TD bank at the Wayland location. Email or call me to reserve your spot and get 1000 credit towards closing costs.
Here's Chris Ann's post, read, enjoy, and THINK...
In this economy, it seems prices are constantly increasing, and what you get in return is shrinking. Ice
cream containers are slightly smaller, and marked up. Same with cereal boxes. Even bars of soap are slightly smaller and prices have increased. Just about anything you can buy has been marked up in price, with less to show for it.
There is one place in this economy where your buck goes further than it would anywhere else. That's the housing market. With home values down and interest rates at historical lows, your purchasing dollar is on steroids. You can afford more house now than you will be able to when interest rates rise and/or home prices go up.
The housing market is the place to truly stretch a dollar right now. If you've been needing more space, now is the time to get out there and move up to that bigger house. Wait too much longer and you're going to feel like I did when I realized the overpriced pint of ice cream I just bought wasn't even really a pint, but smaller.
Get out there and buy what you need and what you deserve while it's on sale.
