Spring is in full force; the summer months are right around the corner. If you are debating moving up to your dream home, here are four great reasons to consider buying today instead of waiting.

1.) Buyer Demand is High & Inventory Is Low

Recent numbers show that buyer demand is at the highest peak experienced in years, and inventory for sale is at a 4.6 months supply, which is still markedly lower than the 6.0 months needed for a historically normal market.

The National Association of Realtors, Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun put it this way, "Demand in many markets is far exceeding supply, and properties in March sold at a faster rate than any month since last summer."

Listing your home today can greatly increase exposure to buyers who are out in force and ready to act.

2.) Prices Will Continue to Rise

The Home Price Expectation Survey polls a distinguished panel of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts. Their most recent report projects appreciation in home values over the next five years to be between 11.7% (most pessimistic) and 27.5% (most optimistic).

The bottom in home prices has come and gone. Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting for your current home’s value to increase before selling could price you out of your new home if you aren’t careful.

3.) Mortgage Interest Rates Are Still Near Record Lows

As we reported last week, interest rates have remained below 4% for some time now, and are substantially lower than the rate previous generations paid when getting a mortgage.

The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac & the National Association of Realtors are in unison projecting that rates will rise over the next 12 months.

An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment. Even an increase of half a percentage point can put a dent in your family’s net worth. Whether you are moving up or buying your first home, your housing expense will be more a year from now if a mortgage is necessary to purchase your home.

4.) It’s Time to Move On with Your Life

The ‘cost’ of a home is determined by two major components: the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It appears that both are on the rise. But, what if they weren’t? Would you wait?

Look at the actual reason you are buying and decide whether it is worth waiting. Have you always wanted to live in a certain neighborhood? Would a climate change be just what the doctor ordered? Would you like to be closer to family?

Bottom Line

If the right thing for you and your family is to move up to your dream home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings.

St. Louis Premium Outlets to expand retail space in Chesterfield

CHESTERFIELD, MO (KTVI) – If you shop at the St. Louis Premium Outlets in Chesterfield, then you’re probably familiar with impressive savings.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get any bigger, plans are underway to expand the discount shopping area. Construction has already begun on a new, 50,000-square foot Burlington Coat Factory.

It’s part of a number of additions coming to the Chesterfield Blue Valley, which surrounds the St. Louis Premium Outlets. The retail stores opened their doors nearly two years ago. They were the first development in the area, which spans more than 130 acres.

Since that time, development activity has been on the rise for the area.

“The property was zoned years ago for 1.4 million-square feet of development,” said Chesterfield’s Planning & Development Director, Aimee Nassif. “It’s fantastic seeing everything come together, and with the success of whats already here with the outlet center, it’s just great.”

Shopping in the Blue Valley attracts shoppers from near and far. And officials say that traffic has been great for the local economy.

Now shoppers are seeing an extension of the existing retail space with a new gas station and convenience store, a Cavender’s Boot City — the first of its kind in Missouri, a proposed 60,000-square foot Gander Mountain, and the Burlington.

While some of the plans are still under review, construction is already underway with more expected to start this summer.

The 2nd family room opens to the kitchen and has vaulted ceilings and lots of windows. The 2nd floor offers a 2nd bedroom with its own full bath, 3rd bedroom, and another full bath in the hallway. There is an open Loft area currently being used as office space.

Billionaire John Paulson believes in the financial advantages of homeownership. He has often repeated:

"I think, from an individual perspective, the best deal investment you can make is to buy a primary residence that you're the owner-occupier of.”

However, he has not been the only billionaire to give such advice. As a matter of fact, that same advice has been given by people of wealth throughout the history of our nation.

Here is a quote often attributed to Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States and billionaire real estate developer:

“Every person who invests in well-selected real estate … adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent, for real estate is the basis of wealth.”

Andrew Carnegie, one of the richest entrepreneurs in American history said:

“90% of all millionaires became so through owning real estate.”

Bottom Line

If the same advice has been given by the wealthiest people in each era of our country’s history, perhaps we should take it.
