Great Rates
Mortgage interest rates remain very attractive and are now at or near 40-year historic lows.1
Great Long-Term Investment
Home equity is the largest single source of household wealth for most Americans.2 From 1972 to 2007, the median home price appreciated at a compound annual growth rate of 6.4%.3 To put that in perspective, a $25,000 investment back in 1972 at the same rate of return would be worth approximately $233,000 today. Maybe that’s why nearly two-thirds of Americans agree that renting a place to live is like throwing money away.4
Growing Demand
Last year, a home was sold in this country every 4.9 seconds on average .5 Although no one can predict the future, rest assured ? demographics will continue to drive long-term demand. Looking ahead through 2015, 14.6 million new households are expected to form in this country.6 And all these people will need a place to live. Getting the jump now – when rates are low, inventory is plentiful and home prices are compelling – is a great strategy for building your own nest egg and personal wealth. Remember, the early bird catches the worm. Too bad for the worm, but potentially very good for you.
