If you're thinking about purchasing a home, sooner might be better than later when it comes to favorable conditions for buyers. The real estate market is volatile, and truth be told, this year might be your last chance to affordably buy a home for awhile. - Reason #1: Low inventory equals more expensive homes With the limited housing inventory in many markets, and with last year's home price increases, many people couldn't afford to buy a home and rented instead. Because of the Great Recession, the building of new homes and rental units was almost nonexistent for years and didn't keep up with population growth. - Reason #2: The Fed plans to taper off bond-buying With the economy improving and the unemployment rate dropping, the Federal Reserve tentatively plans to end their bond-buying program in October. The end of the program, which aimed to keep interest rates low, is expected to result in higher interest rates, and any increase in interest rates could create even less favorable conditions for buyers. According to the MBA Mortgage Finance Forecast, interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are projected to jump half a percentage point in early 2015 from the year before. - Reason #3: Flat wages make homes less affordable History has shown us that there is always the chance that home prices are pushed out of reach when wages are flat. Then at some point, some sort of correction in wages or housing occurs, and the correlation between the two sectors becomes more sustainable. The question then becomes, when will this tipping point occur, and can you afford to wait? - Reason #4: Jump in before competition heats up Maybe you've been renting and managed to save up a nice nest egg. Or maybe you've just outgrown your current space. Well, you might want to take the plunge and buy a home once you've found something that you can afford. Why now? Because the housing market is about to get even more competitive. The pent-up demand of younger professionals, who moved back in with their parents during the recession, is about to explode. And as these young people move out and form new households of their own, they will drive up housing demand.-------RSIR Condensed from an article in Yahoo! Homes by Danielle Blundell |
