Is Now A Good Time To Buy A Home?

My brother and I, while watching some football this past weekend,
were talking about buying a home at the opportune time.

There is an old saying in business and life that came to my mind during
our conversation …

“The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago.”

“The best time to start a business is 20 years ago.”

“The best time to have purchased a home is 20 years ago.”

[I think you get the point now :-)]

IDEALLY, one purchases a home at the bottom of a market downturn
AND just as Real Estate is going to take off like gangbusters – right?

Yes, that is ideal.  However, I think timing the market is futile.

Why?

Because we won’t know when the market has truly bottomed out until
well after the fact.

One could be left saying, “The best time to purchase a home was 8 months ago.

Is Now The Right Time To Buy?

For my brother, I don’t think so.

Why?

Because he could really take or leave home ownership right now.

No rush.  No panic.  No burning desire …right now.

He’s in a “wait and see mindset”.

I speak with other potential home buyers who are in a different personal
scenario than my brother.

And because their personal scenario is different, so are their mindsets.
Their decision making factors are different.

Their rent is coming due – and rising.

Their family is expecting a baby.

More family is moving from overseas.

They want family roots to raise their children.

For them, buying a home is more imminent.

Buying a home is in their near future.

Their decision to “wait and see” where Real Estate prices go is different
than my brother’s.

So Chad, IS NOW A Good Time To Buy?

I am telling people what I think on an individual basis, once I understand
your situation better (ONLY if you ask me :-))

I lead my prospects through my “Mortgage Approval Plan” to help me
determine this.

I have told MANY people to hold off from buying a home right now.

The truth is, I treat ALL of my clients like I do my family.

Isn’t that what you would want?
