Is Now The Best Time To Buy A House?<\/span><\/h3>\n

TODAY SHOW real estate expert Barbara Corcoran<\/strong> and personal finance expert Carmen Wong Ulrich<\/strong> explain why now may be the best time to buy a new home.<\/p>\n

Barbara says:<\/p>\n

\n

I totally believe it’s the time to jump in.\u00a0 There’s very little upside to waiting around and doing something later.\u00a0 You’ve got cheap money, cheap prices, lots of homes to choose from. Why wait? It doesn’t make any sense<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

With regard to getting a mortgage right now, Carmen says:<\/p>\n

\n

Mortgage applications are at 15 year lows because it’s really tight.\u00a0 You’ve got to have great credit and a solid down payment.\u00a0 Mortgage lenders don’t want to absorb all the risk.\u00a0 You have to have ample savings, outside of the down payment.\u00a0 You need at least 6 months’ worth of mortgage payments in the bank and saved up.\u00a0 Of course a great work history that you are employed really helps.\u00a0 If you’re self-employed,\u00a0 you’ve got to keep fantastic records. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While the spring is usually a time when home buying goes up, Barbara says:<\/p>\n

\n

You’ll see more houses coming on the market.\u00a0 What\u00a0 you won’t see coming into the market are lower prices.\u00a0 You certainly aren’t going to see cheaper money, especially with what’s going on with fannie mae.\u00a0 Everything is going to change in the financing game.\u00a0 You’ll see a tougher spring to buy in.\u00a0 Now, again, is the better time to buy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Carmen says:<\/p>\n

\n

If you’re in a position to buy, don’t wait for the interest rates to go lower again.\u00a0 If you’re in a position to get that mortgage, get it now.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
