Real Estate...As Affordable as it Gets!

Somewhere between the media hyping the worst Real Estate Market in decades and
reports that the economy is recovering lays the truth of what is really happening in the
market.

The housing affordability index has returned to pre-housing bubble levels or even fallen
below the average in many US markets, thanks to the combination of exceptionally low
Prices and historically low interest rates. Simply stated, low home prices along with
low interest rates as compared to an area’s median income yields an index that allows
many people to enjoy the benefits of home ownership. This also creates an environment
allowing investors to acquire properties that actually provide positive cash flow in many
cases at better return than many other traditional investments today.

For those who can qualify to obtain a mortgage on a Primary Residence, now is a great
time to buy a home. With the current low interest rates, buyers can rest assured that they
will have affordable housing for years to come as opposed to Renters who can be sure
that their rents will increase as property values rise again. Even if prices drop a little
further, they can still rest easy knowing that they can afford what they bought. Trust me,
the banks are making sure of that!

For those with investments in other areas, now is a great time to buy Investment Real
Estate. The annual returns on investment coupled with the anticipated appreciation of
Real Estate over the long term can seriously outperform many other investment vehicles.
Plus Investment Real Estate is a tangible asset that has virtually no chance of being
valued at zero as many stocks and other investments have done. After all, you can’t live
in a stock!
