Homes for sale in Denton, TX: thinking this is not a good time to buy? think again

Prime Time to Buy

7 Reasons Why Now Is a Great Time to Buy a Home

 

Recent history has reframed some of what had long been taken for granted about buying a home. Namely, we've learned that even though buying a home remains one of the best and safest investments available, a home should not function as an ATM or a short-term speculation strategy. So, where does that leave us? A lot smarter, able to recognize an opportunity when we see one, and aware of the facts that point to now as the prime time to buy a home.

1. Home affordability is at an all-time high. The median mortgage payment on the median-priced home, as a percentage of the median household income, is lower than it's been in a generation.
2. Mortgage rates are at rock bottom. It's hard to imagine interest rates going much lower, and when they start to inch back upward, monthly payments and total loan costs will spike upward.
3. Home prices are back on the rise. After declining for 30 months, home prices are trending back upward. The time to get in the market is now.
4. Sellers are motivated. This means that buyers have the upper hand.  Sellers are fiercely competing among an excess of housing inventory, which often means buyers have untold choices and negotiating power.
5. Financing is readily available. Banks are back in the game and ready to lend to well-qualified buyers.
6. Owning vs. renting is increasingly favorable. Since 2009, the average principal and interest payment has fallen below the average rental rates, and the gap is now wider than it's been in the past 22 years.
7. Homeownership is still at the core of the American Dream. Owning a home is critical to financial stability and wealth building. It's a forced savings account, a place to live, and a fabulous tax deduction.

Mortgage Rates

Rates, although steadily declining since April of this year, rose slightly this past week.  Rates are still historically low with a fifteen year fixed rate in the high 3's and a 30 year fixed rate in the low to mid 4's, depending on loan amount and credit scores.

Buying a home in Argyle, Corinth, Denton, Highland Village, TX:

 

Homeownership still a primary goal for families

 

A survey of U.S. adults in September found that many people continue to be very conservative about how they spend money. However, about 17 percent say they expect to have more money to move to a different home. That percentage is virtually unchanged since last year. Those who expect to buy a new house or condo are up from 7 percent in May to 10 percent in September. The survey was conducted by Harris Interactive.

Corinth TX homes for sale: homeowners do not wait for better times to put their home on the market

Current market conditions and seasonal slowdown of real estate buying
and selling do not scare Corinth, TX homeowners. Sellers put their
homes on the maket at the same if not faster pace as year or two
before. Novermber and December being historically the slowest months
in real estate market, do show normal ups and downs. With less homes
to chose from - motivated buyers, such as out of state relocation, or
sellers who got their homes under contract and must find a new one are
significantly more pressed to put an offer. While the deals are easier
to find this time of the year, sellers who think they might get more
for their home early in the year might be in for a (negative)
surprise. Foreclosure delays are expected to add more inventory on the
market affecting some areas more than others.

Renters:  Now is the Time to Buy!

One big advantage of owning a home, in addition to pride of ownership, is the ongoing tax advantages. This includes the deductibility of interest payments and property taxes. Also, with each payment the balance of the amount owed declines, thus building equity in the property for the owners. Many families consider ownership of their home as their best saving program. In time their equity can grow their capital worth to the point where they can acquire a more expensive step-up home.

A lesser known benefit of home ownership relates to its effect on children. Several studies have pointed to the positive impact of ownership on the lives of kids in the household. They feel more secure and tend to be more self-confident while living in a home owned by their family as opposed to living in a rental residence.

Go Rangers,
