Expert Says Now is the Best Time to Buy
Mar 1
Steve Harney, the national real estate expert, recently addressed Briggs Freeman Associates and delivered straight talk about today’s market. Having built up a successful real estate company with over 500 agents, he now travels the country speaking. He answers below about buying.
Q. Is now a good time to buy?
A. This is the single best time to buy within the last 25 years. As the extended tax credit comes to a close this April, the government will not be in the business of keeping rates down.
Q. Should I wait for real estate prices to fall even lower before buying?
A. No. Let’s say prices go down another 10 percent, but interest rates are up 1 percent – your cost is the same. Always look beyond price and ask, what will it cost you?
