30 yr. Fixed Rates below 6% Again?

Posted Dec 1, 2007 @ 5:56 am, Viewed by 414 Visitors, Read 422 Times.
When I was in college mortgage rates went to their all time high of 18%.   That is what kept me out of Real Estate initially.  My father was a Real Estate Broker and I saw what a really tough market looked like and I didn't want to be involved.    This perspective gives me a truly different take on the market we are in now. 

What I see is opportunity for buyers!  

The old saying of buy low and sell high!  What makes a great time to buy property.  Let me think....
1) When you can buy at a discount.
2) When sellers will pay your closing costs so that you don't have to come out of pocket.
3) When you can finance at a great interest rate (5.75% 30 yr. fixed)
4) When you have a lot of inventory to choose from

Wow!  I think that time could be now! 

When people look back they will say 2007 and 2008 was the time I should have bought my home!

Isn't it amazing that media experts can't seem to grasp the concept. The biggest problem that I see here in Austin Texas is that buyers have a perception that builders and sellers in general are so desperate that homes are free.

We are having that issue here as well. Buyers can get a good deal on a home right now but the discounts are not as drastic as the news media leads them to believe.
