Thinking of buying a home in Holt, Michigan, Delhi Township? Here’s your key to home-ownership for today's real estate market and a few tools to help you become more prepared for the American dream of owning a house.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched a new Web site to assist home-buyers with improving financial literacy, sustaining healthy home-ownership and achieving financial security. This is a great resource for anyone who wants to improve their financial situation.

Even before you begin looking for a home, the home-buying process requires diligent preparation. Buyers who have been approved in advance for a home loan often have their offers taken more seriously by sellers. The key is buying with the intention to hold long term. Property ownership equity accounts for more than half the wealth in the United States. It is never a bad time to buy real estate. Start your search for homes here. NAR offers a FREE step by step guide for home buyers.

In addition to the above, I encourage you to visit my home buyers tool kit page and Buying Services for Greater Lansing Area Home Buyers.

You’ll be joining the ranks of hundreds of families who realize that home ownership offers a number of benefits including building equity, saving for the future, and creating an environment for your family. Start your dream today, by becoming well prepared. Selling your home also requires well thought out preparation.

“Expect the Best” Mike

The Best Time to Buy in Any Market is When it is Down, Especially the Greater Lansing, Michigan Market

Last Tuesday the government announced an $800 stimulus plan for the credit markets. Some $500 million will be spent buying mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae in an effort to push down mortgage rates.

The best time to buy in any market is when it is down (a buyers market) and the circumstances for you are right. This is a prime time for a buyer with good credit and/or a good down payment to buy a house in the greater Lansing real estate market. Right now inventories remain high and prices have fallen over the past 2 years. And mortgage interest rates continue at all time lows, with rates dropping under 6% yesterday for typical 30-year fixed loan. The first time home buyers credit of $7500 will be ending on 7/1/09. There has never been a value to “waiting” in real estate, especially now. If you have been thing about buying a home, now’s the time to make your move.

Real estate is first and foremost an investment. And like investments will sometimes perform well and sometimes not. However for those looking long term, it has almost always performed well. The key is buying with the intention to hold long term. Property ownership equity accounts for more than half the wealth in the United States. It is never a bad time to buy real estate.
