Is This Really The Best Time To Buy A House?
That's the second most asked question I get now days. Is this really the best time to buy a house?
It seems that just as I was about to give my own answer, in print mind you, 3 better minds than mine decided it was time to blog about the subject.
First, my friend Jay Thompson, the "Phoenix Real Estate Guy" opined that...
Maybe, maybe not. Talk with professionals – a real estate agent, a CPA/Financial planner, a mortgage lender for help in determining your options and what is right for you in your specific situation. Everyone is different. To read the rest of Jays article read buying a home?
Then Chris, our Tooele Broker, in his weekly "Presidents Message" to the Utah Association of Realtors made the statement that,
With the passage of the newest economic stimulus bill and the implementation of an $8,000 tax credit for first-time buyers, more people are weighing their options to decide whether home buying makes sense. In fact, the National Association of Realtors estimates the tax credit will spur approximately 300,000 additional home sales as on-the-fence buyers decide now is the time to make a move. You can read the rest of Chris's blog by going to presidents message.
Finally, Blanche Evans, CEO of Evans Media and publisher of the Evans Ezine takes a more positive tack in her recent Real Town article where she says If you're a home buyer sitting on the sidelines for the deal of the century, you may be kidding yourself. That dream home you're waiting to buy when the housing slump is over is likely to be smaller, plainer, and more expensive later than today's homes are now. Read the entire article on larger homes.
After reading these three very well thought out articles, I realized that I didn't have much to say on the subject any way. But I did realize I still had something to offer.
