Now is the Time to Buy a Home
Now Is the Time to Make Your Dream Come True With an Academy Residential Mortgage
If there was any lingering uncertainty over whether now is a good time to buy a house, it may be squashed after the release of several favorable housing reports over the last several weeks.
Low Interest Rates
According to an early May Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey, U.S. home mortgage rates continue to decline. Perhaps most importantly, the rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage is at the lowest level this year.
High Optimism
A recent report from Fannie Mae revealed that most Americans are indeed feeling optimistic about the housing market. In the April 2014 National Housing Survey, the portion of respondents who said they think now is a good time to sell a house rose to an all-time high of 42%. If more people are thinking of selling their homes this spring, that would be great news for buyers. The larger the housing inventory, the more pull buyers have.
