There's an old saying in real estate that it's about Location, Location, Location. This is especially true right now. While the national S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices showed prices fell year-to-year in the latest survey the housing market rebounded in the Washington, DC area showing a 4% increase in the past year.
With interest rates still low but expected to rise as we move forward now is the time to buy to get the best deals and keep the mortgage payment down. Moving forward higher prices and interest rates could make it harder to qualify for a home. Analysts say home prices are at the most affordable level we've seen in a long time.
