If you are a buyer looking to buy a home now is the perfect time. Interest rates continue to hover at their record lows and home prices are still well off their peak of a few years ago. In many cases buying a home can be less than the cost of renting. Especially for first time buyers, the low current interest rates will help them qualify for a home that they may not otherwise qualify for if and/or when rates begin to rise. I would encourage anyone considering buying to take advantage of the current buying environment and to lock in a great interest rate - this opportunity will not last forever!! The following chart put together by the California Association of Realtors shows how the mortgage expense varies at different interest rates.
