Better Than A Tax Credit?

There was a lot of hoopla over the homebuyer tax credit, however it may be an even better time to buy now than it was when the credit was in effect.

Two Reasons:

1. Rates are nearly 1/2% lower than they were in March – this could equate to a much bigger savings over the life of mortgage than $8000.

2. Prices in Oregon have continued to soften and with less buyers there is potential to save more than $8000 on the price of a home.
