Hi Nina Hollander I thought as I went through your list that these should be "links" to other posts about that particular reason. I know you have posted on these subjects before. Why not make them links?

Bill Roberts ~ hi Bill, I have no answer for you... just that I put links to the guide itself throughout the post and didn't want to invest any more time in it.

Hi Nina Hollander, great list of why buy a home now. Some are not even aware their mortgages may be lower than their rent. Why not buy a home now while the interest rates are low.

Hi Beth... for the most part, I've been fortunate that many of my clients realize it is less expensive now to buy than to rent in many cases. The real dilemna is to find them inventory!

Belinda Spillman ~ hi Belinda... the most nervous buyers I see these days are those who are coming to the realization that they may have missed the boat a bit on home prices by waiting.
