Now is a Great Time to Buy a Home

Now is a great time to buy a home and if you’ve been toying with the idea of it at all, then hearing this might not be news to you. However, we’re here to expand on the reasons why! Below are three big reasons that highlight why now is such a good time to buy a home:

1. Interest rates are down almost a full point since last fall. That’s massive! Also, Fannie Mae is predicting that the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate will be 3.7% in the second half of 2019. This gives you SO MUCH more buying power and options!

2. Affordability. Home price, wages, and interest rates are the key factors in determining home affordability. Wages are currently up and with interest rates down, the combination makes homes more affordable TODAY than they were a year ago.

3. Creating family wealth. Homeownership is a sensible way to build long-term family wealth. Why build equity for your landlord when you can build it for yourself?! Therefore, the sooner you put the power of home equity to work for you the more profitable you’ll be.
