If you were to hold off on that home because you thought home prices were going to drop, well consider this. If mortgage rates increase by 1 percent as predicted by economist in the next six months, what do you think that does to your buying power? A one percent increase on a $400,000 mortgage would reduce your borrowing power by $50,000. That is a drop of more than 10% of the loan amount in order to keep your mortgage payment the same. Take away the $8,000 tax credit after April 30, this puts you at even a less advantage then someone buying today.
It is time to make some real decisions. Are you looking for advice, financial consulting or just some good information from someone who has prepared over 3000 mortgages for homebuyers in New England. Don’t wait, email me now.
