Average Buyer Can Afford $20,000 More Home!

According to National Association of Realtors President, Charles McMillan, "With the drop in interest rates, a median-income family can afford a home costing $20,000 more than a year ago for the same monthly mortgage payment."

Do Interst Rates Matter?

Our interest rates are at all time historic lows.  Some buyers don't understand how this benefits them, so I wanted to show you a real life example.

Let's say you wanted to purchase a new house, and the amount of money you would borrow for a mortgage is $200,000. 

If your interest rate were 8.5%, your principal and interest payment would be $1,538.

If your interest rate were 6.5%, your principal and interest payment would be $1,264.

If your interest rate were 4.5%, your principal and interest payment would be $1,013.

As you can see, interest rate can make a more than $500 a month difference in reduction of yourmonthly payment at today's low rates.  Will you be one of the wise people to seize the opportunity of today's market?

Affordabilty, Low Rates & Desire to Buy Provides Hope

Affordability, low rates, desire to buy provide home for the US Housing Market.  Housing affordability now stands at its best level since 1971.  This greater affordability helped boost home sales in February.  Especially strong was the activity attributed to first-time buyers, who represented half of all home purchasers this month.  The $8,000 tax credit helped move many of these first time buyers out of rentals and into their own homes.

 "Thanks so much for all the hard work the two of you did to get this sale completed for us.  You cannot know the relief you have given to my brother and I.  We truly appreciate your efforts."--Becky Cobb
