Amazing Opportunities for Home Buyers Nationwide, but More Importantly Here in Boston

by Michael Mahoney (contributor: TheGreaterBostonVoice.com)

Share on Facebook | Tweet

The other day, I wrote about  The 7 GREAT reasons to buy a home today, and I would like to continue with some more great reasons why now is a GREAT time to buy a home.

The reason I chose to continue to write about this topic is not to be self serving, but more importantly to eliminate some of the confusion about the real estate market. Yes, according to the TV advertisement, each market is different and you should consult a Realtor (a popular commercial aired by The National Association of Realtors). Every market is different, however the facts cannot be denied in most markets. Here are the facts:

1. You can get a good deal.This is true. There is typically more inventory than there are buyers. This will put the buyer in the driver's seat. Again, each market will vary, however if you work with a good real estate agent, they will be able to show the absorption rates, list to sales price ratios, days on market, and comparative properties before you head out over the threshold.

2. Mortgages are Cheap. Mortgages are the cheapest they have been in history. I am told that you can get a mortgage for around 4.3%. WOW! When I bought my home it was over 8%, and that was good deal. I know other real estate agents who have been doing this longer than me, and they can remember when it was 18%. Don't take my word for it, check out Bankrate.com, or call a trusted mortgage colleague of mine Ms. Thea Simolari of The Mortgage Network.

3. You will save on taxes.Yes, you read that right. You can write off the mortgage interest which will typically reduce your overall tax burden and you will also be able to write off your real estate taxes. Have you tried to write off your rent? Hmmm...I bet your landlord writes these off. Interesting right? Call me...I will show you the details.

4. The Property Will be Yours. No more landlord or landlord lady telling you what to do, Mr. and Mrs. Tenant.

5. You will be able to get a better home. Since the prices are low and the inventory is plentiful, you may be able to skip over the fixer upper and by something real nice. I am not saying you need to buy a mansion, but your choices will be better in this market than in a seller's market. However, don't let me discourage you. If you would like to have a mansion in Boston, have a look at homes in Boston over 1 Million Dollars...Please call when you have your checkbook ready. Don't worry, I can send you bank owned, and fixer uppers too...Just fill out this form and I will add you to the list of wrecks to choose from so you can fix it up and cash in your equity soon. NPR said the recession is over. That is what I heard on Monday, so you will gain that equity much faster. Alleluia!

6. It offers some inflation protection. Real estate has historically stayed ahead of inflation.

7. It's a Forced Savings Plan: You're just paying yourself by building equity. As a forced monthly saving, it's a good discipline.

This is mostly a rehash of The 7 Great Reasons to Buy Real Estate Today from the other day, however, The Wall Street Journal just released 10 Reasons Why You Should Not Wait to Buy Real Estate. You can see this Wall Street Journal article here.

I  have a GREAT report which outlines all of 7 of the reasons you should buy now. It was published by Keller Williams Realty. Please Download 7 Great Reasons to Buy Now

7 Reasons Now is a Great Time to Buy a Home

by Michael Mahoney (contributor: TheGreaterBostonVoice.com)
Keller Williams | Boston Area Real Estate Agent www.MMahoney.com
Share on Facebook | Tweet

There are 7 GREAT reasons to buy a home today. A Smart buyer would seize the market now. The housing market hit a rough patch over the summer. Sales of existing homes declinded and many people thought what's next. Some people waited, but others moved ahead an purchased. At a glance, why now is a a prime time to buy:

• Home affordability is at an all-time. The median mortgage payment on a median priced home is lower than it has been in a generation.
• Mortgage rates are at rock bottom rates. It may be difficult to imagine rates lower than where they are. If you need to know what the going rate is for a purchase, I would highly recommend contacting Thea Simolari. You can reach Thea Simolari via her website
• Home prices are back on the rise. Prices declined for nearly 30 months, however, prices seem to be trending upward again.
• Sellers are motivated. This means buyers may have the upper hand. Many owners are competing fiercely against banks and people who are doing short sales. In some communities, there is excess inventory, therefore the buyer may have lots of choices.
• Financing is available. Banks are in the game. Again, there were some issues with mortgaging, it seems to eased up a little. Again, I would recommend speaking with Thea.
• Owning versus renting is favorable. Since 2009, the average principal and interest payment has fallen below average rental rates.
• Home ownership is at the core of the American dream. Owning a home is critial to financial stability and wealth building. Owning a home is a forced savings plan. Don't believe me? Ask any certified finanical planner if real estate is a cornerstone of wealth. I know when a real estate agent makes the suggestion, you think it is self serving.
  

WOW! Look at the mortgage rates below. I am not showing just Boston specifically, but more importantly a national average. Look at the trending.

According to William Wheaton: Professor of Economics and Real Estate at MIT in Boston, he says the market will zig and zag, but won't most likely drop any further.




Bottomline
If Linda Greenlaw were a Boston based real estate agent, she would have written a book titled "The Perfect Storm". It would have been all about why you cannot wait to buy now. There are so many things going for you right now. Rates at lows, sellers competing for buyers and mortgage money available. There is the real estate trifecta!

I have a GREAT report which outlines all of 7 of the reasons you should buy now. It was published by Keller Williams Realty. Please Download 7 Great Reasons to Buy Now
