If you’ve been wanting to buy a home but didn’t think this was a good time, think again! Let us show you our Top 5 reasons why now is a great time to buy…

1. Building Equity. Why pay rent when you could buy? Each month you pay rent making your landlord a little wealthier but at the end of the day that’s money you’ll never see back. When you purchase a home you start to build equity from day 1 putting that money back into your own pocket. History has shown that a typical homeowners equity grew at between 4-6% each year. Home ownership is a long-term commitment and when you decide that you’re ready to start building your future buying a home is a great place to start!
2. Community of Neighbors: Renters don’t usually stay in one place too long which can make it difficult to truly become friends with those around you. However in many of the communities in the Flathead Valley there are large common areas, clubhouses or even activity centers which will make it easy to get to know everyone in your community and the people living in many of these great communities stay longer which can also help you build great relationships and both have and be a great neighbor. 
3. Predictability and Reliability: Many people who are looking to buy a home in today’s market know that a fixed-rate mortgage is the ideal way to go. With a fixed payment amount for the life of your loan it becomes easy to set a budget that you can count on from now until the end of your loan. In a time where the price of everything increases on what seems like a daily basis you’ll be able to count on your monthly payments staying the same and that can be a great comfort for the fiscally minded.
4. You Own It: Obviously one of the big benefits is that you own it! You can fix it up, remodel, renovate, add landscaping or do a variety of things that you wouldn’t with a rental. Every Homeowners Association has different rules and be sure you know all the covenants and regulations for your property but it’s finally time to make a home that’s all your own!
5. Deals…Deals…Deals: Interest rates are at historic lows and a difference of 2 or more percent can make a huge difference in the size of the house you could buy. Homes are more affordable than ever and there are many that have been on the market that have been recently reduced in price making them even better bargains than before!
