4 Reasons to Buy Before Spring!

by HOLLY HURD


The holiday season is behind us, time to focus on what exciting new
 experiences 2015 can bring! If you are planning on becoming a
homeowner, or moving up to the home of your dreams in 2015, here
are four great reasons to consider buying a home now, instead of waiting until spring.

1. Prices Will Continue to Rise

The Home Price Expectation Survey polls a distinguished panel
 of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market
analysts. Their most recent report projects appreciation in home values
 over the next five years to be between 15.1% (most pessimistic) and 32.8%
(most optimistic).
The bottom in home prices has come and gone. Home values will continue
to appreciate for years. Waiting no longer makes sense. 

2. Mortgage Interest Rates Are Projected to Increase

Although Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that
interest rates for a 30-year mortgage have softened recently, most experts
 predict that they will begin to rise over the next 12 months.
The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac &
the National Association of Realtors are in unison projecting that rates
will be up almost a full percentage point by the end of 2015.
An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment.
Your housing expense will be more a year from now if a mortgage
is necessary to purchase your next home.

3. Either Way You are Paying a Mortgage

As a paper from the Joint Center for Housing Studies 
at Harvard University explains:
“Households must consume housing whether they

own or rent. Not even accounting for more favorable

tax treatment of owning, homeowners pay debt service

to pay down their own principal while households that rent

pay down the principal of a landlord plus a rate of return.

That’s yet another reason owning often does—as

Americans intuit—end up making more financial sense than renting.”

4. It’s Time to Move On with Your Life

The ‘cost’ of a home is determined by two major components:
the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It
appears that both are on the rise.
But, what if they weren’t? Would you wait?
Look at the actual reason you are buying and decide
whether it is worth waiting. Whether you want to have a
 great place for your children to grow up, you want your
 family to be safer or you just want to have control over
 renovations, maybe it is time to buy.
If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a
 home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to
 substantial savings. Give me a call or text today, I can help in your
buying and selling needs.
