The Time to Buy is Now

Azalea HomesAre you in the process of looking for an Atlanta new home? We think this year is the perfect time to buy from Azalea Homes!

Here’s why:

•    Housing Avoids Fiscal Cliff
Since a fiscal deal was made, housing will improve in 2013. The NAHB believes that as the industry improves, mortgage rates and home prices will increase. Buying an Azalea home this year will save you money!

Average fixed rates are at 3.5 percent, so buying now can save you thousands of dollars in interest. These rates usually stay the same until your home is paid off.

There’s No Time Like the ‘Present’

MontereyIf you’re looking for the perfect present this year, then consider a new Azalea home! As the old saying goes, “there’s no time like the present,” and this is true for new homebuyers too. Interest rates are at an all time low and real estate prices are rising each month. In addition, new policy changes for FHA loans that have been under review for several years are now set to be enacted in 2013.

According to a recent article from the Inman News, those who qualify for FHA loans will still pay 3.5 percent minimum down payments, underwriting will continue to be generous on key items like debt-to-income rations, and the FHA will continue its one-price-for-all. However, six percent seller contributions towards closing costs will likely only be available to purchasers for a minimum time. According to the article, regulators are considering a proposal to reduce the maximum seller contributions in the first quarter of 2013 to as low as three percent of the total loan amount. Buyers looking for the best value and best financing opportunities should act now while rates remain low and FHA policies remain favorable. Continue reading
