You might be asking this question to yourself, why should I buy if the media keeps telling me we have not hit the bottom? This may be true or may not be true but one factor the media can’t predict is the interest rates.

Today’s interest rate you can obtain in Tampa for a 30 year fixed rate on a fha loan is 4.85 keep in mind rates change daily, lets say you found a home for $100,000 here is what your estimated payment would be.

I provided you with numbers using current active homes for sale on the market and what the payment would be approximately vs what it would cost to rent the same home. both homes are comparable in size and bedrooms. You can see for the same home you can own and save about $5047.68 yearly

If you plan on renting you will need to come up with first months rent and security deposit so around $2400 based on the above example.

If you plan on buying you will need approximate $3500 for an fha loan and this is assuming we can negotiate the seller to pay the closing costs which of course as your real estate agent we will consult you on how to make an offer that will give you the best chance of being accepted.

So you need to weigh the pros and cons of buying vs renting now, if you feel we are close to the bottom of the market then it is my opinion there is no better time to buy, if you feel that we have not hit bottom then what you can be potentially throwing away in rent may be offset of any potential drop in prices.

If you feel home prices are going to drop even more dramitcly then you may better off renting but keep in mind we don’t know if the interest rates are going to climb back up over the next one year and two year periods.
