North Peninsula Business Association

Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Enter the Housing Market Now

NPBA

NORTH PENINSULA BUILDING

By Diana Johnson Executive Officer, North Peninsula Building Association

A S S O C I AT I O N

1)

Interest rates are still low.

Today’s historically low interest rates are helping first-time home buyers find affordable housing options. Average weekly interest rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage can still be found at a very reasonably low rate.

But it’s important to keep in mind that interest rates are sensitive to market forces and can change quickly. There’s no indication that rates will suddenly surge upward, but even a slight rate increase can push monthly payments to the point that a buyer might miss out on their first choice for a new home.

2) Huge downpayments are not necessary.

While lenders are looking more closely at borrowers today than in recent years, there are options for purchasing your first home without a 20% downpayment. For example, there are lending administrations that offer loans to first-time home buyers with low down payments of less than 10%. However, these loans do require mortgage insurance.

To ensure that the financing process goes smoothly, buyers should consider pre-qualifying for a mortgage and having a financing commitment in place before shopping for a new home. Buyers also may find that some home builders have arranged favorable financing for their customers or offer financial incentives.

3) New homes are built to fit your lifestyle.

Designed to accommodate today’s busy lifestyles, new homes more and more are featuring open floor plans, flexible spaces, low-maintenance materials and other amenities that appeal to younger buyers.

With energy costs near the top of consumer concerns, it’s good to know that new homes can be more energy efficient than ever. Innovative materials and construction techniques mean that today’s new homes are built to be much more energy efficient than homes constructed a generation ago. Not only can they be more affordable to operate, new homes are also significantly more resource efficient and environmentally friendly.

4)

Technology makes house shopping fun and easy.

Today’s tech-savvy home buyers use mobile apps to quickly gather all of the key information on a property and to see extensive photos from their cell phones or tablets. If you’re just beginning your search there are many popular apps that generally contain the most accurate information gathered from the local MLSs (multiple listing services).

5) Owning a home can help young families build wealth and combat rising rents.

For most Americans, homeownership is a primary source of net worth and is an important step in accumulating personal financial assets over the long term. Americans have more than $10.8 trillion of equity in their homes, and for most families, home equity represents the largest share of net worth.

According to a recent report from Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, rent prices continue to climb as rental vacancies dropped to their lowest point since 2000. That makes NOW a great time to start investing in your future!
