It’s a Great Time to Purchase a Home – Here’s Why…

Terry Riffe | November 6, 2015

NOW TIME TO BUYIf you have been on the fence about whether to purchase a home or not, just do it! If you have the financial resources and means, it is a great time to purchase a home. Here’s why…

~ Home values are on the rise. The appreciation rate for the Orlando area for the last quarter was at 4.86%, and this number is expected to rise in the near future. What does this mean for you? It means that a home is not only great place to invest your money, but a great place to build family memories while you’re at it.

~ Rental rates are on the rise while rental inventory is declining.

~ Interest rates are low, low, low. Today’s 30-year fixed rate mortgage (conventional financing with 5% down) is at 3.81%, a 15-year fixed rate mortgage is 3.01%. It’s just a matter of time before the Feds raise these rates.

~ Many lenders are lowering their credit score requirements and relaxing their guidelines.  This makes it easier for some borrowers to qualify for a loan than in recent years.
