2009 Spells Good News for First Time Home Buyers
The phrase 
“One man’s loss is another man’s gain”…is certainly true when it comes to real estate. A number of factors have converged to make 2009 a great year for the first time home buyer.
- 1. Interest rates are at their lowest levels in decades. With Fixed rate mortgages hovering at or below 5 percent fixed for a 30 year loan, homeownership is within the grasp of many people that were priced out of the market.
- Home Prices are down in all area’s of the country, and it is unlikely they have much further to fall. This means that bottom fisher’s can lock in a great price on a home.
- The FHA has a first time buyer program that requires only 3 percent down and is available to people with less than perfect credit.
- Tax rebates and incentives. First time buyers will receive a tax credit up to $7500 on the purchase of a home.
The weak housing market and economy have presented quite an opportunity for individuals who have never owned a home. If you are a first time buyer, everything you need is in place to make the deal of a lifetime.
