There are a lot of uncertainties in today’s market and the media continues to drive home these different challenges every day.  If you have actively been looking for a home, I would like to suggest that you simply stay active in your search.  Now really is the time to be excited about this market…  This is, and will continue to be a buyer’s market.  The continued effects of the short sales and foreclosures, coupled with the low interest rates, and the inability to purchase by so many “other” people in the market place, make this market very opportunistic for those few that can and choose to move forward.  The only other true option is to buy when the market turns upward, where you are then competing with other buyers, and more likely at higher interest rates.

Imagine looking back 7, 12 or even 15 years from now… living in your home, feeling that sense of security, and comfort, having that safe place to return every day.  Now imagine how good you will feel knowing that you made a good decision to purchase when so many others couldn’t take advantage of what you could!  All of the challenges in the media that are present today won’t even be a factor 10, 12, or even 15 years from now

Your home is where you find comfort, your sense of security and safety!  It allows you tax benefits, stability, freedom, and even a sense of pride of ownership.  If you are looking to stay in your home for more than 7 years, I believe it still a good idea to remain active. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
