I have 3 associates that are successful realtors. Two of them had their homes foreclosed and the other still rents. One of the foreclosed victims is in a position to buy through his fiance. But why would he buy now in this specific market when we are due a large wave of ARM adjustments. Point is, all real estate is local and renting vs. buying has a specific difference in each area.

In the last 15 years this is the best time to buy a home, especially for first time buyers. Mortgage rates are very low now and there are a lot of programs that fit the needs of the buyers.

Well, the reason we should be buying now is that the interest rates are going up, and will continue to do so. We can’t keep the T-bills this low forever. Buyers need to look at “cost” vs. “price”. Yes, price may be going down, but cost is going up. If you are in the market to buy, I would buy now, before rates increase for the next few years (in my opinion). Great article!

We rented for 3 years and it drove me crazy. It is honestly like throwing your money out the window.

I’ve been a homeowner for 7 years, best financial decison I’ve ever made. I pay less (because I don’t have pay someone else’s mortgage plus profit) and I have total control over what I can do to it.

Buy wins.

Buying is the way to go. This applies to other things as well such as cars and furniture. In some circumstances renting/leasing is better but for the most part I prefer to buy.

From a small research I’ve done in my DB it turns out that most people are actually moving to houses they’ve purchased lately rather than rentals.

It seems like the low interest of the mortgages is really effecting people.

Yeah, buying would be the best thing to do right now because of the houses these builders want to get rid of right away. It would be crazy to rent when it’s the buyers advantage market.

You have to take in the fact you will pay less taxes because you can write off the interest on mortage still. That alone makes it a great time to buy instead of renting.

I think it also depends on the state your in. The taxes in some tsates add alot more than 110 a month. Ny or some others would be 300 or more for taxes a month. The interest rates are so low it is the best time no matter where you live to buy a home.
