Buying a Home Might Not Get Much Cheaper

Many renters today are choosing to put off buying a home for several reasons, but statistics show that buying a home might not get any cheaper than it is right now. Experts say that 2012 may be the last year for buyers to take advantage of the weak housing market and foreclosure influx. According to CNN Money, home prices are down 34% nationally from 2006, and mortgage rates are at an all time low, making it the best year yet to find the bargain deal of a lifetime.
Economists with PNC Financial Services believe that home prices will flatten out by the third quarter of this year, and might begin to climb at the beginning of next year. There are several indicators that the housing market is picking up like the decline in foreclosures, and continue
d job growth nationwide, and buyers will have more access to affordable mortgages as they build their credit scores. While some prospective buyers who have been wary might be more willing to follow through because of the all-time low mortgage rates and lower home values, some renters still aren’t in a position to take the next step and will ultimately miss the grace period.
