When is the Right Time To Buy Real Estate

Over the last 100 years there has been great real estate times and really bad times too. If the rates are low and inventory is abundant, it's  a buyers market and buyers usually have the upper hand. If there are not enough buyers to meet the demand of the buyers then it's  a sellers market. But there are variables to each market that can weigh heavily on the decision to buy or sell.

Right now is an excellent time to buy. Maybe better than just about any other time in history. Just about all the variables are ripe for the buyer.

• Market Values are down reducing purchase price of homes
• Interest rates are extremely low for great mortgages
• Choice of homes is abundant for buyers to choose from
• Extra tax credits and government incentives for repeat and first time home buyers.

Just about the only variable that is not in perfect working condition is the availability of a loan. A few years ago, rates were down, prices were up but it was very easy to get a loan. Even if you really couldn't afford it lenders were offering ridiculous rates and promises. This has led to rate increases, sub prime loans and predatory lending that has left many people out of a house.

  The stricter requirements on buying is actually a good thing for everyone. It ensures you cannot buy a home until you are financially ready and it helps the lenders not get bogged down with foreclosed homes that they can't sell.

Bottom line is, now is a great time to sell, IF you are ready. Make sure you have some funds in reserve for earnest money or down payments. Know your finances before you attempt to purchase a home. You don't want to be surprised by anything the lender finds you didn't know was there.

Shop around for the right loan for you and be patient on finding the right home. There are many great deals out there right now and knowing what you want to buy be it move in ready or a fixer can help make the decision much more stress fee.
