In an article dated March 6, 2008 | Daily Real Estate News:

NAR: HOME SALES TO HOLD STEADY

There are some great signs of an improving housing market.  according to the article:

“Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says many buyers have been waiting for higher mortgage loan limits.

‘The higher loan limits for both FHA and conventional loans will increase consumer choice and provide greater access to lower interest rates in high-cost regions’, he says. ‘Therefore, a notable rise in home sales can be anticipated in the second half of the year.”

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in January, held at a stable level of 85.9, unchanged from December, but was 19.6 below the January 2007 reading of 106.8.

‘This additional sign of a stabilizing market is encouraging, and our members are telling us there’s been a pick up in shopping activity,’ Yun says. ‘ Our hope is that the increased traffic of buyers looking at homes will translate soon into more contract offers’…..(end of article)”

This is very good news for us here in the Midtown, Buckhead and general Atlanta market as we have seen a fairly stable market in comparison with the rest of the country.  For buyers, there has never been a better time to buy, and for sellers, tensions ease and it is a good time to have your home on the market again.

I recently read a great article in TIME MAGAZINE dated February 25, 2008. The title is “Ignore the Headlines” – ‘Except this one. Sure, housing’s in a hole. But there’s a potent case for buying now, whether it’s real estate or stocks’

The article discusses how buying now at todays incredible interest rates is equal to or better than if prices drop further over the next twelve months and rates creep up even just a small half percent. Interest rates are at an all time low and buyer’s should take advantage of it as their long term cost of ownership will be much lower and their payment will be the same. The article outlines two scenarios:

Buying Today at a price or $218,900 with a 5.5% interest rate will make your payment $994.31.

Buying in twelve months at a 10% price decrease (typical of the national average – Atlanta has not seen the same loss in value. In fact Average home prices in Atlanta rose 0.8% over the last year (according to NAR) This would make your purchase price $197,010 at 6% interest rate and a payment of $994.94.

BUY TODAY FOR $994.31 OR BUY IN TWELVE MONTHS FOR $994.94. In the long range you will come out much better by buying today and not wasting thousands of dollars on rent or other expenses that you will never recoup. Don’t forget the tax advantages or the built in savings of equity in your new home. If you plan to hold for more than three years NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!
