Advice for Buyers

Record low mortgage rates become more important 

the longer you plan to stay in your home. 

Choose the best home possible to meet your household’s
needs for years to come. The rise in housing inventories 

may give you negotiating power with sellers, but don’t risk 

the home of your dreams over minor bargaining points.

If you’re interested in a foreclosed home, be patient for a 

few weeks while the banks sort things out, or move on to 

another property.

Keep in mind that your chances of getting a loan are much 

higher if you can qualify for a conventional or conforming loan.

Last but by no means least, make sure you have a knowledgeable

local realtor who will be on YOUR side to look out for YOUR

interest.
