Rates Are StillSo Very Low...For Now Most expertsare predicting interest rates to slowly but steadily rise this year. Most think this will start happening in thenext thirty days. One thing to keep inmind is that you can typically lock in a rate once you have an address for ahome you are buying. We may not seerates like this for many years to come, so it’s an amazing time if you can takeadvantage. Even if you are not in themarket for a new home, then you should at least consider refinancing since weare at the bottom with interest rates. Yes, It IsStill a Buyer's Market Overall supplyof homes in Kansas City rose to a 6.5 months supply in January which indicatesa buyer’s market. Kansas City has beenno exception to the market influx of foreclosures and short sales which haskept inventory levels up. Consideringthese factors, many home buyers in the Kansas City area have been surprised atthe number of homes selling for full price or close to full price consideringit is still a buyer’s market. While itis true that supply of homes is still a little high, there will always bepockets in which a home being sold may not have extreme competition in terms ofprice range or amenities. The market isvery fluid right now with waves of homes going on the market and selling. At any given point in time there may be anexcess of homes in your area on the market, but if priced well the homes gopending leaving a sudden shortage in inventory in that given price range.

Everywhere you turn today whether on the news, in the newspaper and people you meet...they are talking about how bad the housing market is! As a Kansas City realtor, I find this astonishing. I can think of many reasons why there has never been a better time to buy your 1st home or even your next home.
1. The Federal Housing Tax Credit was extended to First Time Home Owners and now move up or repeat buyers. This is a great opportunity to buy the house you have always wanted. Click on the following link for a quick overview of the tax credit requirements. http://www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com/glance.php
2. Interest Rates are still at an incredibly low rate! With these low rates that mortgage companies are extending, you have the ability to buy "more" home for your dollar!
3. There is a surplus of homes currently on the market. That means you...the buyer...are in the drivers seat so to speak. You can deal more aggressively to obtain the best price on your new home.
4. Check into some of the grants that the state of Missouri is offering. Visit the following link for more information: www.mhdc.com
5. You are investing in yourself by having a piece of property that will continue to appreciate in value! Pay yourself first...rather than a landlord!
6. Significant possible tax deductions are available to some home owners.
My list can go on and on...but take it from the many real estate investors I am lucky to work with...they are buying property like crazy.

“The market always heals from the bottom up" according to Paul Bishop,National Association of Realtors Vice President of Research. According to the recently released sales numbers 47% of buyers this past year were first time home buyers. Surpassing the previous high record of first time purchasers set back in 1991.
"These buyers are critical to housing and a general economic recovery ...they absorb inventory, free existing ownersto make a trade and stimulate related goods and services" said Bishop. He compared this rise to the last recession in 1991, where the same dynamic played out "first time home buyers started the chain reaction that led the nation out of recession" he said. Bishop credits tax incentives, record high affordability, and pent up buyer demand to this spikein recent sales. Economists would also credit the FED with suppressing any immediate rise in interest rates affecting home mortgages while the economy is still so fragile.
BUYER PROFILES ARE ALSO DIFFERENT THAN ONE WOULD EXPECT
Themedian age of a first time home buyer is 30 indicating that some are younger and some are older. They are planning to live in their homes for at least ten years. The typical cost Nationwide was $156,000 down 7% from last years figure of $165,000. 87% of First time Home Buyers surveyed considered their home to be a good investment." Single Family homes sold a higher rate than other forms of housing. In fact 78% of the home achieved were single family homes.
HOW ARE BUYERS PAYING FOR HOMES? 96% Choose a fixed rate mortgage. (55% used FHA compared to 8% Using VAPrograms) 61% of First time buyers used their savings as a down payment. 22% received down payment assistance as a gift from family. 6% received loans for down payments from family 6% tapped into a 401 (k) program
WHAT IS OLD IS NEW AGAIN- SAVING MONEY FOR A DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOME
39% of home buyers have cut back on luxury items, 38% cut back on entertainment and 30% cut back spending on clothing according to the study.
THE TAX CREDIT EXPANSION INTO 2010
The expansion of the $8,000 tax incentive program for 1st time home buyers will extend to homes placed under purchase agreements by April 30, 2010. It will also provide home buyers who have owned a home in the past 5 years with a $6,500 tax credit when they purchase a new home by the April 30th deadline.
