GREAT TIME TO BUY!

If you are one of those buyers waiting for the market to bottom out before you purchase,
consider the following. First, the market is at the lowest point I have seen in almost 20 years
of selling real estate. Is it the bottom? Nobody knows for sure but there are other factors to
consider, which brings me to my second point. Interest rates! Again, nobody knows for sure
but they have increased slightly. Historically when we are in a period of inflation, which we
are, mortgage rates rise. So, waiting for the bottom in pricing to hit may cost you tens of
thousands more with increased interest rates. Finally, with the tightening of mortgage
qualifications you might wait until you no longer can obtain a mortgage.
BOTTOM LINE – NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!
