Buy your Boston Home by the End of the Year

As we approach the end of July, and summer is winding down, it seems a bit far off to think of the end of the year. But, we are now more than half way through 2014, there are only 5 months remaining this year. Forecasters predict some changes on the real estate front in 2015. If you are looking to buy a Boston home, don't delay, NOW is the time. Why the rush to buy before the end of 2014? Read on...

Prices are still not at their highs

Sure, home prices are higher now than during the crash in 2008, but, they are still lower than the peak we had in 2006. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index the average prices of a home are currently at summer 2004 levels. If you buy now and take advantage of today's pricing, you may see significant appreciation over the next few years.

Interest rates are still rising

As the Federal Reserve concludes its economic stimulus program we can expect the interest rates to continue to slowly rise. Even a small bump in interest rates can significantly bump up your monthly mortgage. The longer you wait, the more you will pay for your dream Boston home.

Rental prices are on the rise

Boston rental prices are continuing to rise and will likely do so throughout 2015. If you are ready to plant your roots in our great city, why not invest in a Boston home of your own? When you own your home, you grow your own equity instead of your landlords.

When you are ready to purchase your Boston home, look to an experienced Boston real estate agent. I'm committed to providing you with the highest quality buyer service. When making the type of investment that buying a home requires, you deserve to have all the latest market information and the very best advice, both of which I can provide you with. I am always here should you have a question on a Boston, MA neighborhood such as South End, Fenway, Beacon Hill, or any other. I hope to speak with you soon!
