The Economy and Housing
As many people look at the housing industry they look at the economy and say now is not a good time to buy a home. Sometimes we forget the main reason to buy a home- that being a place to live. Sure, we can say that maybe my home is not increasing as much as it would have three years ago, or we can say maybe the price will be lower. What we really need to remember we are not buying homes to make money we’re buying homes to live in!! Does it suit my current family situation and does it suit my needs today. We have in the past had this side benefit that we have also made money on our homes but did we really buy a home to make money or to have a place to live. Your investment in your home was not really to make money, but to have a place to raise your family, cherish some memories, and develop a tradition as your own – not your parents or garndparents but yours. It’s something to think about as you ponder your decision to buy or to not buy a home.
