San Fernando Real Estate

January 31, 2008

Buying Is Cheaper Than Renting

Yes, this is true. I have been waiting years to write this. Many people think that prices will decline more, despite the huge recent drop in values. But how much more can prices fall if it is already less expensive to purchase a home than it is to rent one?

If you plan to live in the San Fernando Valley for at least a few more years, you should buy a home right now. There is A LOT to choose from, which means you can find a property that really suits your needs, rather than just “settling.” Interest rates are VERY low. In fact, they just came down again this week. It’s still important to have fair to good credit. And in most cases you will want at least a 3% - 5% down payment, although 100% financing is still available.

Not only is it less expensive to own, but just consider the additional savings from tax deductions. Some first-time buyers think that they don’t make enough for this to apply to them, but that is not the case. Anyone with an income will save lots of money every year by owning a home. If you would like to see some great deals on homes in the Valley, or if you just want to browse through some foreclosure properties, go to the website, www.ClarkSellsHomes.com. Please feel free to email or call with any questions.
