There are a number of other reasons that buying your first home or moving up into a new home may make sense today including the record low interest rates that continue to hold and the fact that home sales in Minnesota are on the rise. If you have a home to sell in today’s market, home buyers need new inventory to look at – what’s out there is becoming stale and new homes on the market are being scooped up quickly by eager first time home buyers and move-up home buyers alike.
This holiday season, not only have we got a little fresh white to cover the ground and lights glimmering around the town; but we’ve got record low interest rates and home prices in Minnesota are at the lowest they’ve been in over a decade as well. The combination of low rates and low home prices means that first time home buyers in today’s market can truly find affordable housing and they can buy for less than rent again!
There are less homes on the market to choose from if you’re looking to purchase a home as fewer homes are coming on the market. This tends to lead to needing to react quickly, especially if you’re in a first time home buyer price range where there are likely multiple people interested in the same property price range.
