Unless you live in San Francisco, New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Boston or San Diego, according to Forbes- You should be buying a house today! (Click on photo above to link to full article)
Rates are @ historic lows- I have clients locking in 4% this week when they were quoted 4.5% originally. They currently pay $1000 for rent now but after their tax savings, they can buy a $185,000 house with 4 bedrooms and a pool and their essential out of pocket is less than their current rent monthly.
We keep hearing rates are going up after the first of the year, now really is the time to buy your first home if you live in the Phoenix Metro area before YOU MISS THE BUS!
