When is the Ideal Time to Buy Your Woodbury Home?
Have you been sitting on the sidelines of the real estate market for a couple years and wondering "When is the ideal time to buy?".
I often have clients ask "When is the ideal time to buy a home"?
In order to appropriately answer the question with their best interest in mind, I will have to see why they ask. Usually the response is about interest rates, prices, or something like: "My uncle's, mechanic's best friend that that used to be a Realtor said..."

“If you don’t own a home, buy one,” Paulson said. “If you own one home, buy another one, and if you own two homes, buy a third and lend your relatives the money to buy a home.”
Interest rates are a huge part of the equation and with the debt crisis looming it could send rates upward making home ownership unaffordable again.
