There are hundres of thousands of people who are going to benefit from the current housing depression that has hit this country over the past year. Although homeowners are struggling seemingly everywhere and the news has been going on forever about the drop in home prices. This downfall has openned an uprecidented home buying opportunity!!
If you are one of the fortunate few that is entering the market in this low period. Not, only are you standing to gain from the tax credits and low mortage rates that are still in effect. But, in a few years, once the news has passed and home sales begin to recover and the cycle starts to reverse..home prices will at some point rise.
I personally predict that banks are going to be continuing to raise interest rates and this will prevent home prices from making any quick rise. But, if you have put your time in and purchased a home at a reasonable price., you should gain equity and in such markets as Las Vegas and California you may see these markets make a semi-recovery.
Plan on several years in your investment and purchase a home that you can afford is the first step towards building a strong capital future position that will bear fruit. This is not a time to be sitting around waiting. The current tax credits won’t last long and interest rates are not going to be here forever at these prices.
Please keep in mind that buying a home is not instant equity. Equity is built over time and banks will only value your home in the first 3 years for pretty much what you paid for it. So, when making a home purchase keep that time horizon in mind. It’s important to realize that this is an asset that will apreciate over time. I recommend that people buy homes they will enjoy and not only will you gain the pride of home ownership, you will most likely gain in equity that will put your family in a better financial postition once the recovery is well under way.
I believe we are starting to see that recovery, and the word is going to get out once people see that interest rates are going to rise and home prices will also rise with them, just at a slower more historically correct rate rather than the ultra frenzied rate of 2006!
