The time for prospective home buyers
to enter the market may be right now;
here’s why:
• Attractive interest rates
Historically speaking, the mortgage interest rates
are relatively low.
• Sizeable inventory
After approximately 24 months of a changing
market, there is a great deal of inventory. In fact,
in Santa Cruz County alone, there are 1,400*
homes currently available for sale.
• 2008 is an election year
Historically the economy and the housing market
have been strong during election years.
• Real estate is a strong, long
term investment
According to the California Association of
Realtors, the average home purchased five years
ago has appreciated 49%. Over the last 37 years,
California real estate home prices have only
dropped four times and yet prices have increased
more than 2,100% during that period of time.
The bottom line is that reports of dramatic real
estate market declines may be deceiving and some
qualified consumers may benefit from purchasing a
home now.
Don’t let this window of
opportunity pass you by.
