No doubt today is the best time to buy a home. But, are you prepared? Before you take this big step make sure you can afford the purchase. There are programs that ask for little down payment, which means that you are financing most of the purchase. Will you be comfortable with your monthly payment or would it be wiser for you to save some more money to reach at least between 10 to 20% of the purchase price to put as down payment? Even with the low prices and low interest rates, it’s wiser to save some money first and then buy. Let’s learn from the present market and let’s avoid another round of foreclosures and short sales.
