Are You Being A Mugwump In Middleton Wisconsin? It's A Great Time to Buy A House!

Are You Being A Mugwump In Middleton Wisconsin?

Answers.com provides this definition: "Sitting on the fence" is "mugwump" - someone who sits uselessly "on the fence" of indecision, with their "mug" on one side and their "wump" on the other side.

Do you find yourself in need of a new home? Are you sitting on the fence in Middleton Wisconsin? Here is why it is a good time to buy a house:

• Loan rates have been slowly rising lately. We may have hit the bottom and are on our way back up.

On November 12, 2010, a 30-year Fixed rate was 4.375%

On November 17, 2010, 30-year Fixed rate was 4.625%

What if it goes to 5.125% in the near future? I do not have a crystal ball, but is that not a logical possibility? Let's just say that you take out a loan for $225,000. That would then be a mortgage of $1,225,10 which comes out to $101.71 per month more than if you had locked in at the rate on November 12.

• Sellers are very motivated.
• There is lots of inventory.
