Why Today Is The Best Time To Buy A Home


According to a blog by Ebby, there’s been no better time to get on that awaited real estate purchase than today when housing affordability is at its best. I couldn’t agree more.

Statistics indicate that average home prices are about a third lower this time compared to how they were 5-6 years ago. That’s for the whole nation.

Another huge misconception that people have is that renting costs less than buying. Totally not true. Buying, if we dissect all the factors involved, is way cheaper than renting in about 98% of US major markets.

If we’re talking about interest rates, with today’s situation, we are looking at 30 more years of low rates.
Our recent economic improvement has helped a lot. There’s a little possibility of inflation and generally, with increased employment rate, we can stay that we are steadily improving.

Advice from me? Buy your ideal home now. Today is the perfect time.

  1. If you'll just be living in the house a few years or the fee is low, then renting can be a sensible option. In most cases, it's better to own a home rather than to rent as you get to pay money towards owning your own property. A home loan, however, is a long-term and substantial amount of debt so it's important that you evaluate your job stability and financial status before you decide on.
