Budgeting For Your First Home

Probably one of the most frequently asked questions I get…and it is a good one.

One simple answer…Yes they go up….and Yes they go down.  Check out this great chart. 

Cannot believe information that has been around longer than I have been doing loans…I have been helping clients by being a loan processor (until 1987) and a loan officer after that.  This great chart shows you the 30 year fixed rate from Freddie Mac for the last 45 years.  My first mortgage was in 1987 at 10.5% and I can tell you…I knew “THAT WAS A GREAT RATE..” for us.  It was financially better for us to own, the rent was more….and we loved our home.

Buying a home is a very personal decision, not to be treated like everyone fits in the same kind of box thing.

I always suggest get with a licensed Loan Officer, do a complete loan application and find out what you can or maybe cannot do.  If you cannot buy now, get a plan of attack to be able to buy.

Remember, just because mortgage increase might not be as low as they once were, doesn’t mean it isn’t a good time to buy.
