Why 2016 is a Great Year to Buy a Home

TDRE_Collage_Final

Last month CNNMoney laid out four reasons why 2016 is a great year to buy a home, read it here. To summarize:

  1. Home prices will level off (in fact they already have in the Eastside markets we serve).
  2. Inventory will increase (also has already happened).
  3. Mortgage rates will likely rise (not dramatically, but every little increase costs you).
  4. Rents remain extremely expensive (and won’t get cheaper anytime soon).

All lights for buyers are flashing green, meaning it’s time to put the #1 Eastside realtor in your corner — Tracy Do.

Last year our team here at Tracy Do Real Estate closed over 150 successful transactions in Silver Lake, Echo Park, Eagle Rock, Highland Park and the surrounding neighborhoods. Our knowledge and experience means you have a proven, effective ally in your search, which is critical in a market that remains competitive for the most desirable and well-priced homes.

If you have questions about the process, or want to know how to get started, you can contact Tracy directly anytime at 323-842-4001 or tracy@tracydo.com.

Like the article on CNNMoney says, it’s a new year and a great time to buy. We’re ready to guide you to the home that you always wanted, and will love.

Did I Miss My Chance to Buy a House?!

No, you haven’t. Not even close.

Yes, the Fed raised its key interest rate today by .25% and plans to gradually nudge that rate further over the next many years. Key word: gradual. The increase was long overdue and is, in the eyes of the vast majority of economists, a good idea.

Importantly, interest rates for 30-year fixed mortgages are not likely to be seriously impacted by today’s decision. Early indicators are that they will tick up a little, but that could happen even on the most normal of days. Your golden window of opportunity is still wide open. However it’s certainly fair to say that if you have been considering a home purchase, you might want to step up your efforts so that you can lock into a loan rate sooner rather than later.

CNN Money reports on this story with clarity here and here.
