2011 Is Still a Good Time to Buy
Last year was a great time to buy a house – interest rates neared all-time lows and home prices just about everywhere had fallen from previous highs. These factors meant there were many great deals available in the real estate market. Have you been kicking yourself for missing the opportunity? Not to worry! 2011 is still a great time to buy a home.
Market Favors Buyers
Mortgage interest rates are predicted to remain low through 2011. And prices aren’t expected to budge much at all – economists are estimating home prices will rise by only 0.8% through the end of 2011.* Plus, there’s still a large inventory of homes to choose from. A 2011 homebuyer will enjoy low interest rates and prices and a big variety of homes to choose from, just like 2010 buyers.
