Now Is The Time To Purchase Real Estate!

Now is the best time to purchase real estate.  If you have thought about investing in real estate for any reason, know that there has never been a better time than now to invest in this market.  The real estate market is in a recession and there are more sellers than buyers.  This means that the supply is up, the demand is low and the prices are rock bottom.  This is the time to buy.
The real estate market will rebound again.  It will again become a sellers market in which there are more people looking to buy homes than people willing to sell them.  This will probably not occur for at least another four years.  During that time, things will even out a bit and housing prices will level off.  When the sellers market hits, the prices will begin to rise again.   That is when you want to sell.
In addition to being a great buyers market with tons of foreclosures on the market, another aspect of real estate market today is the fact that the mortgage rates are lower than they have been in 40 years or so.  This gives you the opportunity not only to take advantage of the low asking prices on homes, but also rock bottom interest rates.
You should look to your real estate investment as a long term investment at this point.  It will take several years for the market to rebound from this slump.  When it does, you can then sell and make some money on your investment.  In the meantime, you can use the investment for practical purposes.  Either you can live in the home yourself, have family members live in the home or rent it out to tenants.  The mortgage will be covered and eventually you will be able to sell the property that you purchased for a lot less than market value, for a profit.
Real estate is one of the best investments that you can make.  It is a tangible asset that not only can be used, is something that must be used.  One of our most basic needs is shelter.  Real estate is the only investment that you can make that attends to one our basic needs.  You certainly cannot invest in food as it does not last for the long haul.  And clothing?  Too trendy and never worth more used than when new.  But real estate is a winner.  Shelter is the one thing we all need and you can actually make money by investing in real estate, even in a depressed market.
Take a look around and purchase real estate in an area that is either about to hit a growth spurt or is stable and established.  If you are looking for a home for yourself, take a look at the many different foreclosures that are on the market.  You can get quite a deal as there are thousands of  these properties all over the United States, even in upscale neighborhoods.  When you find a property that you like, bid low.  Take about 20 percent off of the asking price.  The seller can always counter offer with a higher figure.
Shop around for the best mortgage interest rates and packages.  There has never been a better time than now to invest in real estate.
