Buy A Waukesha Home Now or Forever Hold Your Money

More Waukesha Home, Better Price

I know what you are thinking. “They're realtors, of course they are going to tell me to buy a Waukesha home now.” The truth is, I tell you this because it is the truth and your time may be running out sooner than you think.

There are a lot of reasons to buy a Waukesha home right now. As a matter of fact, the reasons not to buy right now are at the lowest you will probably ever see again. Below are three great reasons to buy a Waukesha, Wisconsin home today.

1. Affordability. Housing in the Waukesha area is more affordable right now than it has been in decades. Mortgage rates are at an all-time low, house pricing is at an all-time low, (especially with all the homes you can “steal” right now that are in foreclosure status), and the number of Waukesha homes on the market are at an all time high. It’s a total buyers’ market out there like we have not seen in a very, very long time. It won’t last forever. Currently, the annual salary needed to afford a median-household mortgage is at an all-time 30 year low.

2. Mortgage rates are at record lows. If you buy a Waukesha home now, you are getting a great price and a great rate. Extend this over 30 years and you are looking at a great mortgage payment, saving you thousands of dollars in the long run over the length of your loan. Ask yourself, “What would I have paid for this same home five years ago? With what rate?” and you will know the answer is a lot more than you are looking at paying today. But, how long will these rates and prices last? Things will change sooner rather than later. Remember, this is a long-term investment for you and your family.

3. Your options are better. The current market is providing many more Waukesha homes for you to choose from. With the current pricing being down, you are currently looking at gaining more home and land for your family for your money. You may be looking at affording 10+ acres, 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms within your budget. Wait too much longer and you will be looking at affording less than 1 acre, only 2 bedrooms, and just 1 bathroom for the same exact price. See my point? It doesn’t pay to wait.

Have you been thinking about buying a Waukesha home? Do you have more questions? Please, contact us if you are ready to hop the other side of the fence and begin your Waukesha home search now or have some more questions to ask before you begin. We would be happy to help you determine how much house you can afford in today’s market and what you can get for your money.
