Historic Times, Historic Opportunities? How to evaluate your homeownership goals BY JEFFREY S. DETWILER PRESIDENT AND COO OF THE LONG & FOSTER® COMPANIES

The residential real estate market has been a swiftly-moving target for some time now. It’s hard to know what headlines to believe, what market data applies to you and how you should position your homeownership goals for the future.

THE RECOVERY BEGINS With everything we’ve been through in the last several years, how do you begin to evaluate whether now is a good time to buy or sell a home? Take a look at the facts so you can put your own personal situation in the context of the broader market dynamics. Throughout the Mid-Atlantic region, home prices have stabilized with many are as in the greater Washington, D.C., and Baltimore regions showing positive year-over year gains in home prices.The region is also leading the economic recovery in terms of job growth. 1028999

legitimate and more significant housing challenges to address, but the Mid-Atlantic region considered alone shows a much more positive view of economic—and specifically housing—recovery.

RATES REMAIN LOW While nobody knows what the future holds, we are likely to look back at this time and recognize it as a historic time for qualified buyers to trade up or buy a new home. Mortgage rates are among the lowest we’ve seen in about 50 years— giving home buyers and investors alike the opportunity to purchase properties for the same borrowing costs enjoyed by their parents or grandparents. These record-breaking rates may not stick around for long, however, as industry experts are forecasting increases in mortgage rates in 2012.
