If               your               finances               are               sound               and               you               do               your               homework,               now               may               be               an               excellent               time               to               buy               a               house.

Two               factors               make               the               purchase               of               a               home               a               good               idea               in               my               opinion.

First,               the               housing               market               is               still               recovering,               and               it               will               take               some               time               to               get               back               to               normal.

Inventory               is               high,               demand               is               comparatively               low,               and               prices               are               very               reasonable.

Foreclosure               notices               in               February               were               225,000,               which               is               one               of               every               577               homes.

Experts               expect               eight               million               new               foreclosures               over               the               next               three               years.

(Source:               CNBC).

Foreclosures               and               short               sales               force               other               home               sellers               to               reduce               the               asking               price               of               homes.

From               my               point               of               view               as               a               Money               Coach,               all               this               means               there               are               desirable               houses               for               sale               right               now               at               good               prices.
               Second               factor               is               what's               happening               in               the               mortgage               market.

Things               are               likely               to               change               in               the               not-to-distant               future,               things               which               will               make               mortgages               harder               to               get               and               more               expensive.

The               way               it               works               now               is               a               bank               or               a               mortgage               lender               loans               you               mortgage               money               and               then               sells               the               loan               to               federal               institutions               like               Fannie               Mae               or               Freddie               Mac.

Currently               the               federal               government               guarantees               90%               of               all               mortgages               and               assumes               the               risk               for               non-payment.

Once               your               mortgage               company               sells               your               mortgage,               it               longer               is               liable               if               you               end               up               not               paying.

Because               of               the               abuses               of               this               system,               federal               regulators               are               considering               requiring               banks               to               hold               5%               of               the               credit               risk               so               that               they               will               do               a               better               job               in               qualifying               borrowers.

This               could               mean               that               you               will               need               a               20%               down               payment               if               you               want               to               buy               a               house               in               the               future.

Because               of               exploitation               by               Fannie               Mae               and               Freddie               Mac,               Congress               wants               to               phase               out               these               now-federally               owned               companies.

Possible               effects               include               fewer               30-year               mortgages,               an               increase               in               interest               rates,               and               fees               for               such               features               as               locking               in               an               interest               rate.

It               is               already               harder               to               obtain               money               to               purchase               a               house               because               the               industry               is               no               longer               giving               mortgages               away               to               people               who               are               not               qualified.

Acquiring               a               mortgage               in               the               future               might               even               be               more               difficult,               and               the               costs               most               probably               will               be               higher.
               Right               now               world               events               have               driven               30-year               mortgage               rates               back               down;               as               of               March               24,               2011               the               rate               was               4.8%.

If               you               qualify               for               a               30-year               mortgage               at               4.8%,               my               advice               is               to               buy               the               house               now.

This               advice               is               in               the               face               of               statistics               that               show               fewer               Americans               now               feel               home               ownership               is               a               safe               investment               (64%               now               vs.

83%               in               2003).

(Source:               Thomson               Reuters)
               Before               you               buy,               you               must               have               your               personal               finances               in               order.

Part               of               your               budget               must               be               dedicated               to               maintenance;               I               suggest               1%               of               the               home               value               -               $2000               a               year               for               a               $200,000               home.

You               also               must               have               an               emergency               fund               to               take               care               of               big               things               that               can               go               wrong               like               the               furnace               or               the               roof.

Finally,               you               must               know               what               you               are               doing.

I               strongly               suggest               first               time               buyers               attend               the               free,               6-hour               HUD               Home               Buyers               Seminar.
