Its time to Buy a Seattle Home: Record Low Prices and Rates (Aug-Sept 2010)

buy a home!!Now is the time to buy that 1st home or if you want to get a rental under your belt, we can help and you can qualify. The perfect storm has arrived for would-be home buyers.  The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported Wednesday that seasonally adjusted home prices were down 1.6 percent in the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period a year ago.  Tack on that the average rate on U.S. 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, the most widely used home loan, averaged 4.36 percent in the week ended August 26, down from 4.42 percent in the previous week.  Let us help you get in that home!

Housing prices keep diving down, there's an over supply of new and existing homes on the market, and interest rates are incredibly low (national average of 4.36%!) -- the time to buy is now.

Interest rates cannot continue to plunge, this will come to an end and despite how glum things appear in the housing market, we are set to improve come 2011.  When the economy bounces back will you be kicking yourself for not snagging a home now?

Of course, we know now getting a loan isn't as easy with tougher government checks and balances in place. However don't be discouraged and talk to my team before you decide you can't do it.  Bottom line -- if you're paying your bills you're going to probably qualify for a loan.

This week the National Association of Realtors reported that sales of existing homes fell a surprising 27.2 percent from June to July.  Its during these bleek times that you want to step up to the plate and buy that 1st or 2nd home.
