First time home buyer tip #14

I am frequently asked these days “what kind of home can I get?” Many first time home buyers are still assuming the only thing they can afford is a condo. (As a side note, the FHA rules regarding loans and condos will change on December 7, but more about that in a later post.) Yes there was a time when it took at least $150,000 to buy a condo or townhome but now you can get a decent sized single family detached home, in relatively good (sometimes great) condition, for that price! For all the drama that the “housing crisis” has caused, history will show that unprecedented numbers became first time home buyers in these difficult times and have the opportunity to build wealth as many home owners do. This housing market has made it more affordable than ever for people to buy homes. And it’s not just me as a real estate professional saying that, the data backs me up. So before you assume that the only thing you can afford is a condo or townhome guess again, search through the links below or contact me, I’d be happy to help you see what is out there.
