| Market Commentary Provided by Bob Zimmerman Today’s economic environment is an ideal time for buying a home for many reasons. It’s still the best long term investment for individual households. Interest rates are historically low, inventory levels are high and home prices are down. First time home buyers can get a tax credit of $8,000, restrictions apply, check with your accountant. The higher your credit score the better your mortgage rates will be. Check with your mortgage consultant for rates and the latest loan programs. |
