Home Inspections: Home inspection is an important part of the process when buying your home. Hazardous materials such as Mold and Asbestos, which can lead to Mesothelioma, can devalue your home and put your health at risk. Many other unexpected issues can arise such as termite damage, dry root, electrical & plumbing, and structural issues. Be a smart consumer and insist on a property inspection.

Benefits of Ownership
Owning a home is the American dream. It not only provides amazing tax benefits but it also provides shelter and security to families. Did you know that:

1. Dollar for dollar, the rate of return on an individual’s cash down payment on a house is substantial? Given the leverage in purchasing a home, the average return on a 5% down payment over 10 years is usually three to five times greater than stock market returns?
2. Repeat buyers are able to put 19% more down on a new home due to appreciation?
3. Home owners move less often and are more likely to vote and volunteer time for political and charitable causes than renters?
4. When you own a home you can deduct the property taxes and mortgage interest from your income taxes?
5. The gains that you make on a primary residence that you’ve occupied for two years out of 5 can be tax free?

Mortgages are at Historically Low Rates
For buyers who qualify, mortgage rates are near historical lows. Rates are well under 6%. According to data provided by Freddie Mac, rates averaged 9.2% in the past 30 years. Go to www.FreddieMac.com and look at the Primary Mortgage Market Survey® for more information on the latest rates.

In addition, low interest rates, coupled with recent corrections, give people looking to upgrade a unique opportunity to take advantage of market conditions.

The Value of Your Investment
Despite some contrary media reports and some moderate to severe losses in value in the short-term, home values long-term have and will continue to rise. A return to the traditional 3-4% annual home price appreciation rate is likely to occur by the end of next year (2010) in most areas of the country.

However, this is a national average and local markets vary widely. Property (real estate) in the Harrison area has generally experienced a very modest decline of about 10% over the past two years compared to many areas that have experienced declines ranging from 40-60%. Real estate is a long-term investment. Home values could fall in some years, though, on average over the past 30 years, the median price of existing homes, Real Estate, has increased more than 6% every year. Thanks to the power of leverage, a homeowner’s return on investment is even more impressive over time.
