<p>Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability.&nbsp; Even though interest rates have gone up in the last six months, they are still near historic lows.&nbsp; Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, if home prices come down a little further but interest rates go up, it could cost you even more to service a mortgage on an identical home!</p>
<p>While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial &ldquo;comfort zone.&rdquo;&nbsp; To that end, it may be more important to lock in today&rsquo;s relatively low interest rates and low home prices, rather than to hope for a further break in prices in the future.</p>
<p>Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today&rsquo;s market.</p>]]></description><link>http://www.billwardrealtor.com/Blog/Should-I-Buy-a-Home-Now</link><guid>http://www.billwardrealtor.com/Blog/Should-I-Buy-a-Home-Now</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Jul 2009 12:23:00 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
