Ready for a new home?

Is this a good time to build a home?The answer is easy: Yes. It's a very good time to purchase a home. The recession is in retreat, and even though housing is on the mend, it's still a buyer's market. There are many opportunities in today's market including affordable prices, low mortgage rates and great new homes. But market conditions can change, and these opportunities may not be around for long, so home buyers shouldn't wait.
Attractive Pricing
If there's a silver lining to the recession and the housing downturn, it's that homes in many markets are more affordable. Mortgage interest rates are still at very favorable levels, but rates are sensitive to market forces and can change quickly. Prospective home buyers also should be aware that lenders are looking more closely at borrowers today than in recent years. To ensure that the process goes smoothly, buyers should consider pre-qualifying for a mortgage and having financing in place before shopping for a new home.
Greener and Better
With energy costs near the top of consumer concerns, it's good to know that new homes can be more energy efficient than ever. Innovative materials and construction techniques mean that today's new homes are built to be much more energy efficient than homes constructed a generation ago. Not only can they be more affordable to operate, new homes also are significantly more resource-efficient and environmentally friendly.
Designed With Buyers in Mind
Designed to accommodate today's busy lifestyles, new homes feature open floorplans, flexible spaces, improved safety features, low-maintenance materials and other amenities that make them more appealing than ever before. Prospective home buyers can choose a home tailored to the evolving lifestyles of the baby boom generation. Adapted from NAHB's Opportunity Knocks 2010 brochure
