The $8000 homebuyer tax credit will be extended and will allow all homebuyers not just first timers but they'll be income limits. This should be voted on this week. More details to follow.
What does this mean?
Well it means that if your waiting for prices to go down 10% or so before you buy, you should consider that when that happens the interest rates may be more than today's interst rates.
For example: If you buy a $300,000 home and wait til it goes for $270,000 (10% savings) and the interest rate jumps to 6.99% which is quite possible, you'll be paying approx. $516,600 over 30 years based on 20% down.
If you buy that home NOW at $300,000 at 5% interst rate, you'll be paying approx. $463,680 over 30 years based on 20% down.
In conclusion, you pay less for the $300,000 home now, than you will for the $270,000 home later.$463,680 for the home now and get to live in in now and save money, even prices go down.
Thus the theory, BUY NOW BEFORE PRICES GO DOWN !
