Why are you still talking about buying a house?

WHY?

The time for talking has long passed and waiting will only cost you more money.

Home prices are on the way up and in some areas the increase is double digits.  

Interest rates in some areas is inching up.  1/4% in my area per one of the local banks.

This translates into higher payments.  So, If you are jumping off of the fence finally, check with your lender.  Check out all the financing options and compare them very closely.

Once again, I am seeing government backed loans being the most expensive.

The best time to buy a home is quickly fading.  Come spring it will fade even faster.

Don't be caught in a state of shock.  Act now!

Bill...

I agree. The time for talking is over. It's time to buy NOW before prices start to soar!

NOW is the time to buy. Too many people have waited too long. How do you know when we've hit bottom...when we start going back up. Overall across the country inventory is down and buyers are up. What does that tell you? It's called supply and demand. NOW is the time to buy.

I'm afraid many people will be kicking themselves for waiting!

I have been hearing even in my area of multiple offers.  That can only mean higher prices are on the way.

I had a guy last week tell me he wishes he had bought last fall.  Now it will cost him more.

My area is still seeing multiples in the winter weather.  Spring is going to be fast and furious.
