4 Reasons Why Summer Is A Great Time To Buy A Home!

This summer is a great time to buy a home

Here are four great reasons why you should consider buying a home today instead of waiting!

Buy a home in Boston

1. Prices Will Continue To Rise. Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting to purchase no longer makes sense. CoreLogics latest Home Price report predicts prices will continue to increase at a rate of 5.2% over the next year.

2. Mortgage Interest Rates Are Projected To Increase An increase in mortgage interest rates will impact your monthly mortgage payment. A year from now, your housing expense will increase if a mortgage is necessary to buy your next home. Freddie Macs Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that interest rates for a 30-year mortgage have increased by half a percentage point already in 2018 to around 4.5%. Most experts predict that rates will rise over the next 12 months.

3. Either Way, You Are Paying a Mortgage As a home owner, your mortgage payment is a form of forced savings that allows you to have equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity. Everyone should realize that unless you are living with your parents rent-free, you are paying a mortgage either yours or your landlords.

4. Its Time To Move On With Your Life Look at the actual reason you are buying and decide if it is worth waiting. Whether you want to have a great place for your children to grow up, you want your family to be safer, or you just want to have control over renovations, maybe now is the time to buy.

If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to savings.
