Affordability Today vs. Waiting At The Fence?
Let’s put?waiting?at the fence?and affordability in perspective.
Historically speaking the affordability standard?has never?changed over the years for 1st time Buyers.?
What did change is those Buyers with no money (that bought in recent years) had a short time view on a long term investment.
Affordability?has always been reflected in?a comfortable monthly mortgage payment with?an initial cash investment into the property (i.e. down payment) and the peace of mind of?an interest rate?that is within one’s means now and for?the long term.
Today’s 1st time Buyers have a lot more going for them by getting off the fence?with lower interest rates, the federal government paying them to buy before 12/01/09 with a $8,000 tax credit,?and affordable prices.??
