No matter what you are hearing out in the news what you do need to know is there has been no better time to buy a home than now.  Interest rates are at historic levels, 5% and lower, money is available for consumers to borrower and home prices are now within affordable price ranges (see Linda for a list of available homes at (lindasellsmoore.com).  If that is not enough of an incentive the federal government has created an additional incentive; if you’re a first time homebuyer and purchase a home within 2009 you could be eligible for a federal housing tax credit of up to $8,000.00.

All though lenders have revised their qualifying criteria’s they are motivated to finance current and future homeowners; many of you have the option of a government insured loan, FHA, that requires as little as 3.5% down payment and a loan amount a high as $697,500.00 and if you are a veteran you can purchase a home with a zero down payment.  If a government insured loan is not what you need there are many conventional loans that are available that will meet your needs too.
