9 REASONS TO BUY IN 2009
April 15, 2009 by Steven Chain · Leave a Comment
Below we have listed our ‘9 REASONS 2009 IS THE SEASON TO BUY A NEW HOME’
-
SPECIAL TAX CREDITS:
FIRST TIME HOME BUYER’S HAVE ACCESS UP TO $8000 FEDERAL TAX CREDIT (must close escrow before December1,2009- NO PAYBACK)
NEW HOME BUYERS HAVE ACCESS TO UP TO $10,000. STATE TAX CREDIT
(must purchase before 2010)
TAX DEDUCTIONS: The interest paid on your mortgage is tax deductible. -
PRICES ARE DOWN:
EXPERTS REPORT PRICES ARE DOWN 41% STATE WIDE.
This means your purchase will position you for appreciation as the market recovers. Many potential buyers are under the impression that the only bargains are Foreclosures, REO’S, but in fact we are marketing new homes that represent remarkable present market value and we would love the opportunity to share our products and programs for purchasing with you. -
IT’S A BUYER’S MARKET:
The wise investor’s adage is,” buy when others are selling and sell when others are buying”. It is hard to say how long the various positive factors that make this a Buyer’s Market will last. But we do know some of those advantages will expire in 9 months.
-
HISTORICALLY LOW INTEREST RATES:
Rates are actually below those of 1971.
-
RISING RENTS:
Due to recent events in the economy experts forecast a strong demand in the residential rental market for the next 10 years. It just makes good sense to Buy a Home when your payments are at or below what your paying for rent.
-
FAMILY WEALTH BUILDING:
While there are numerous ways to invest, basically there are two choices regarding your personal housing. Either you will build your landlord’s wealth through renting or you will build your families’ wealth through home ownership.
-
REDUCED UTILTIES:
The homes we build today are far more energy efficient than those we built even 3 or 4 years ago. The lower your utility bills are the more cash in your pocket each month. That’s the bottom line.
-
NEW HOME CONFIDENCE:
Purchasing a new home takes the mystery regarding the condition of the home out of the process. REO’s and FORECLOSURE’s can be exempt from disclosures and inspections of condition. Especially if the Lender is in possession of the property since they aren’t in a position to know or verify the condition of the home. Of course the additional expenses related to any necessary repairs or deferred maintenance should be considered as well.
-
OPPORTUNITY / TIMING:
This is one thing we have learned after four generations in the Building and Real Estate Industry. Basically we either recognize opportunity when it’s presented or we recognize when we have missed it. We understand each families financial picture is unique.
We are here to assist you.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this home buying information. We want your business and we would appreciate hearing from you to discuss your plans, for BUYING, SELLING, DESIGNING AND BUILDING REAL ESTATE IN THE NORTH STATE.
