5 reasons to buy a home this fall

October 29, 2018

Interest rates are low

Potential homebuyers might not know just how good they have got it right now.    It is amazing what a low rate can do to help with affording more home – not to mention the long-term savings.

 

Jobs are stable

The economy is in a positive place. Consumer confidence is high.

 

Prices are rising

Prices and sales in Wisconsin have been steadily rising for the past several years. You can still get into a home in Wisconsin affordably.

 

Invest in yourself

Eventually, you can pay off a house and keep the money as a nest egg. You can’t do that with rent.

 

Have you seen an increase in your housing costs the past several years? That trend shows no sign of slowing. With a fixed rate mortgage, your house payments fluctuate very little. Plus, every payment you make is paying off YOUR debt. You rent payment goes nowhere but to the landlord.

And lastly, you can finally get that pet you want so badly.  When you have your own home, you are in charge.

 

Want to get started?

  • 1. Find out what you can afford

Talk to a loan officer in Wisconsin. Get preapproved.  That way, you are ready to pounce when you see the right home – confident you will qualify to borrow the money needed to purchase it.

Talk to friends and family.  Do some searches at FirstWeber.com. Interview a few. Do you want a Buyer Representative? You can learn about buyer agency here.

  • Search and view properties until you find the ONE.

You can search on any website you want, but we suggest a local one like firstweber.com where updates are handled locally.  That means more accuracy.
