It’s no secret that the current housing market has certainly fallen on hard times. No one can deny that home values have gone down on a national level and you may be thinking this is a bad time to make your dream come true. It’s hard to believe, but now is the best time to build because of the current housing market. Interest rates are currently at historic lows. Plus, contractors are very competitive right now. Why not take advantage of the current situation and use it to benefit you in the long run?
Relax and don’t worry. Historically, real estate values have always risen over time and no doubt will again in the future. Many places in the Midwest and throughout the country have not been hit as hard as other locations portrayed on T.V. When the market does rebound, the value of your new house will rise and continue to do so over time. You will find yourself in an excellent equity position and look back and thank yourself for creating real wealth!
