Lets get down to basics.

By now it must be difficult to consider buying a home. With all the news of a falling market and banks going under. I can understand that people are apprehensive. In a lot of the markets across the United States the value of homes are back to what they were in the late 90’s early 2000’s. If over the past 7 years you contemplated buying a house . . . This is your time.
When I first bought my house, I did it for the security of having and controlling a roof over my head. Sure, I was interested in it’s investment potential put that was not my reason for buying. I was going to stay put for a while and wanted something to call mine. Almost a decade later I was glad I bought since it has appreciated handsomely over the years.
The reason for anyone to buy has never changed just maybe distorted a bit. To me a responsible home buyer is a person in the pursuit of the American dream. You buy a house with a least 20 percent down payment . . . Your monthly payment is fixed and affordable . . . And you plan to stay there until you retire. I think we need to get back to basics.
Regardless of where the market is a sellers or a buyers, I will still own Real Estate. If you have any questions on whether this is a good time buy or sell call or e-mail anytime . . . I would love to hear from you.
