Here are four great reasons to consider buying a home today instead of waiting.
1. 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 15.1% (most pessimistic) and 32.8% (most optimistic).
The bottom in home prices has come and gone. Home values will continue to appreciate for years.
Waiting no longer makes sense.
2. Mortgage Interest Rates Are Projected to Increase
Although Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that interest rates for a 30-year
mortgage have softened recently, most experts predict that they will begin to rise over the next 12
months. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac & the National Association of
Realtors are in unison projecting that rates will be up almost a full percentage point by the end of
2015.
An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment. Your housing expense will be
more a year from now if a mortgage is necessary to purchase your next home.
4 REASONS TO BUY YOUR HOME NOW!
4. KEEPINGCURRENTMATTERS.COM 2
3. Either Way You are Paying a Mortgage
As a recent paper from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University explains:
“Households must consume housing whether they own or rent. Not even accounting for more favorable
tax treatment of owning, homeowners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while
households that rent pay down the principal of a landlord plus a rate of return. That’s yet another reason
owning often does—as Americans intuit—end up making more financial sense than renting.”
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. Whether you want
to have a great place for your children to grow up, you want your family to be safer or you just want
to have control over renovations, maybe it is time to buy.
If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a home this year, buying sooner rather than
later could lead to substantial savings.

YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL
WHEN BUYING A HOME
Many people wonder whether they
should hire a real estate professional to
assist them in buying their dream home
or if they should first try to go it on their
own. In today’s market: you need an
experienced professional!
You Need an Expert Guide if you are
Traveling a Dangerous Path
The field of real estate is loaded with land
mines. You need a true expert to guide
you through the dangerous pitfalls that
currently exist. Finding a home that is
priced appropriately and ready for you to
move in to can be tricky. An agent listens
to your wants and needs, and can sift
out the homes that do not fit within the
parameters of your“dream home”.
You Need a Skilled Negotiator
In today’s market, hiring a talented negotiator could save you thousands, perhaps tens
of thousands of dollars. Each step of the way – from the original offer, to the possible
renegotiation of that offer after a home inspection, to the possible cancellation of the deal
based on a troubled appraisal – you need someone who can keep the deal together until
it closes.
Realize that when an agent is negotiating their commission with you, they are negotiating
their own salary; the salary that keeps a roof over their family’s head; the salary that puts
food on their family’s table. If they are quick to take less when negotiating for themselves
and their families, what makes you think they will not act the same way when negotiating for
you and your family? If they were Clark Kent when negotiating with you, they will not turn
into Superman when negotiating with the buyer or seller in your deal.
Bottom Line
Famous sayings become famous because they are true. You get what you pay for. Just like a
good accountant or a good attorney, a good agent will save you money…not cost
you money.

A big question facing the real estate industry over the last few years is how the housing
crisis would impact the public’s belief in homeownership as a major component of the
American Dream. Many felt the tragedy experienced by so many families would force them
to reconsider their desire to ever be a homeowner again.
A study by the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University addressed this question.
Their paper, Re-examining the Social Benefits of Homeownership after the Housing Crisis,
revealed some interesting findings:
Homeownership Still Preferred Over Renting
“Even after the dramatic loss of equity and the high foreclosure rates, the early evidence suggests
that people seem to believe that, over the long run, owning is still preferable to renting… The long
term cultural preference for owning seems to have weathered the recent housing crisis.”
Americans Still Expect to be Homeowners
“The research on home-buying expectations supports the conclusion that very large percentages
of Americans still expect to buy a home at some time in the future.”
Younger Americans More Desirous of Homeownership
“Moreover, the finding that younger renters and owners are more likely than their older
counterparts to expect to own bodes well for the future of the housing market.”
Even after one of the most difficult decades in this country’s real estate history, the American
dream of homeownership still lives on.

Today, many real estate conversations center on
housing prices and where they may be headed. That
is why there is tremendous value in the Home Price
Expectation Survey. Every quarter, Pulsenomics
surveys a nationwide panel of more than 100
economists, real estate experts and investment &
market strategists about where prices are headed
over the next five years. They then average the
projections of all 100+ experts into a single number.
The results of their latest survey:
• Values appreciated by 4.8% in 2014
• Cumulative appreciation will be 23.5% by 2019
• That means the average annual appreciation will
be 3.6% over the next 5 years.
• Even the experts making up the most bearish
quartile of the survey still are projecting a
cumulative appreciation of almost 15.1% by 2019
Individual opinions make headlines. This survey is a
fair depiction of future values.

BUYING A HOME?
CONSIDER COST NOT JUST PRICE
As a seller, you will be most concerned about‘short term price’– where home values are
headed over the next six months. As a buyer, you must be concerned not about price but
instead about the‘long term cost’of the home.
The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA), the National Association of Realtors, Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac all projected that mortgage interest rates will increase by about one full
percentage over the next twelve months. Many experts are calling for home prices to also
increase over the next year.
What Does This Mean as a Buyer?
Here is a simple demonstration of what impact an interest rate increase would have on the
mortgage payment of a home selling for approximately $250,000 even if home prices remain
the same:

“One thing seems certain: we aren’t likely to see average 30-year fixed mortgage rates return
to the historic lows experienced in 2012.” - Freddie Mac
WHERE ARE MORTGAGE INTEREST
RATES HEADED?
There are those that hope that 30-year
mortgage interest rates will remain below 4%.
Obviously, for any prospective home purchaser
that would be great news. However, there is
probably a better chance that interest rates will
return to the higher than 6% rate of the last
decade before they would return to the less
than 3.5% rate of 2012.
Freddie Mac, on their blog, explained that
current rates are still extremely low compared
to historic averages.
“The all-time record low – since Freddie Mac began tracking mortgage rates in 1971 – was 3.31% in
November 2012. Conversely, the all-time record high occurred in October of 1981, hitting 18.63%. That’s
more than four times higher than today’s average 30-year fixed rate.”
And Freddie Mac projects mortgage rates will increase going forward.
If you are thinking of purchasing a home, waiting for a dramatic decrease in mortgage rates might
not make sense.

Why is there so much paperwork mandated by the bank for a mortgage loan application when
buying a home today? It seems that the bank needs to know everything about us and requires three
separate sources to validate each and every entry on the application form. Many buyers are being
told by friends and family that the process was a hundred times easier when they bought their
home ten to twenty years ago.
There are two very good reasons that the loan process is much more onerous on today’s buyer than
perhaps any time in history.
1. The government has set new guidelines that now demand that the bank prove beyond
any doubt that you are indeed capable of paying the mortgage.
During the run-up in the housing market, many people‘qualified’for mortgages that they could
never pay back. This led to millions of families losing their homes. The government wants to make
sure this can’t happen again.
2. The banks don’t want to be in the real estate business.
Over the last seven years, banks were forced to take on the responsibility of liquidating millions of
foreclosures and also negotiating another million+ short sales. Just like the government, they don’t
want more foreclosures. For that reason, they need to double (maybe even triple) check everything
on the application.
However, there is some good news in the situation.
The housing crash that mandated that banks be extremely strict on paperwork requirements also
allowed you to get a mortgage interest rate probably around 4%.
The friends and family who bought homes ten or twenty years ago experienced a simpler mortgage
application process but also paid a higher interest rate (the average 30 year fixed rate mortgage was
8.12% in the 1990’s and 6.29% in the 2000’s).
If you went to the bank and offered to pay 7% instead of approximately 4%, they would probably
bend over backwards to make the process much easier.
Bottom Line
Instead of concentrating on the additional paperwork required, let’s be thankful that we are able to
buy a home at historically low rates.
GETTING A MORTGAGE: WHY SO MUCH PAPERWORK?

Eric Belsky is Managing Director of the Joint Center of Housing Studies at Harvard
University. He authored a new paper on homeownership - The Dream Lives On: the Future of
Homeownership in America. In his paper, Belsky reveals five financial reasons people should
consider buying a home.
Here are the five reasons, each followed by an excerpt from the study:
1.) Housing is typically the one leveraged investment available.
“Few households are interested in borrowing money to buy stocks and bonds and few lenders
are willing to lend them the money. As a result, homeownership allows households to amplify any
appreciation on the value of their homes by a leverage factor. Even a hefty 20 percent down
payment results in a leverage factor of five so that every percentage point rise in the value of
the home is a 5 percent return on their equity. With many buyers putting 10 percent or less down,
their leverage factor is 10 or more.”
2.) You’re paying for housing whether you own or rent.
“Homeowners pay debt service to pay down their own principal while households that rent pay
down the principal of a landlord.”
HARVARD: 5 FINANCIAL REASONS TO BUY A HOME
13. KEEPINGCURRENTMATTERS.COM 11
3.) Owning is usually a form of“forced savings”.
“Since many people have trouble saving and have to make a housing payment one way or the
other, owning a home can overcome people’s tendency to defer savings to another day.”
4.) There are substantial tax benefits to owning.
“Homeowners are able to deduct mortgage interest and property taxes from income...On top of
all this, capital gains up to $250,000 are excluded from income for single filers and up to $500,000
for married couples if they sell their homes for a gain.”
5.) Owning is a hedge against inflation.
“Housing costs and rents have tended over most time periods to go up at or higher than the rate of
inflation, making owning an attractive proposition.”
Bottom Line
We realize that homeownership makes sense for many Americans for many social and family
reasons. It also makes sense financially.

HOMEOWNERSHIP’S IMPACT ON NET WORTH
Over the last six years, homeownership
has lost some of its allure as a financial
investment. As homeowners suffered
through the housing bust, more and more
began to question whether owning a home
was truly a good way to build wealth. A study
by the Federal Reserve formally answered
this question.
Two of the findings revealed in their report:
• A homeowner’s net worth is over thirty-six
times greater than that of a renter.
• The average homeowner has a net worth of
$195,400 while the average net worth of a
renter is $5,400.
Bottom Line
The Fed study found that homeownership is
still a great way for a family to build wealth
in America.

Are you thinking of buying a home? Are you dreading having to walk through strangers’
houses? Are you concerned about getting the paperwork correct? Hiring a professional real
estate agent can take away most of the challenges of buying. A great agent is always worth
more than the commission they charge just like a great doctor or great accountant.
You want to deal with one of the best agents in your marketplace. To do this, you must be
able to distinguish the average agent from the great one.
Here are the top 4 demands to make of your real estate agent when buying a home:
1.Tell theTruth About the Price
Too many agents just take your offer at any price and then try to‘work’both the seller and you while
negotiating later. Demand that the agent prove to you that they have a belief in the price you are
offering. Make them show you their plan to get both the seller - and the bank - to accept that price.
Every house in today’s market must be sold twice – first to you and then to your bank.
The second sale may be more difficult than the first. The residential appraisal process has gotten
tougher. A recent survey showed that there was a challenge with the appraisal on 24% of all
residential real estate transactions. It has become more difficult to get the banks to agree on the
contract price. A red flag should be raised if your agent is not discussing this with you at the time of
the original offer.
4 DEMANDS TO MAKE ON YOUR
REAL ESTATE AGENT
16. KEEPINGCURRENTMATTERS.COM 14
2. Understand the Timetable with which Your Family is Dealing
You will be moving your family into a new home. Whether the move revolves around the start of a
new school year or a new job, you will be trying to put the move to a plan.
This can be very emotionally draining. Demand from your agent an appreciation for the timetables
you are setting. Your agent cannot pick the exact date of your move, but they should exert any
influence they can, to make it work.
3. Remove as Many of the Challenges as Possible
It is imperative that your agent knows how to handle the challenges that will arise. An agent’s ability
to negotiate is critical in this market.
Remember: If you have an agent who was weak negotiating with you on parts of the purchase offer,
don’t expect them to turn into a super hero when they are negotiating with the seller for you and
your family.
4. Find the Right HOUSE!
There is a reason you are putting yourself and your family through the process of moving.
You are moving on with your life in some way. The reason is important or you wouldn’t be dealing
with the headaches and challenges that come along with purchasing. Do not allow your agent to
forget these motivations. Constantly remind them that finding the right house is why you hired
them. Make sure that they don’t worry about your feelings more than they worry about your family.
If they discover something needs to be done to attain your goal (i.e. rethinking price), insist they
have the courage to inform you.
Good agents know how to deliver good news. Great agents know how to deliver tough
news. In today’s market, YOU NEED A GREAT AGENT!

GALLUP POLL: RE BEST LONG TERM INVESTMENT
The Gallup organization released their Economy and Personal Finances Poll which asked
Americans to choose the best option for long term investment. It was no surprise to us that
real estate returned to the top position over other investment categories (gold, stocks/
mutual funds, savings accounts/CDs and bonds).
Back in 2011, gold was the most popular long-term investment among Americans. However,
with the housing market improving across the U.S. and home prices rising, more Americans
now consider real estate the best option for long-term investments.
The poll also revealed that real estate was considered to be the best long term investment by
all four subgroups by age and two out of three by income:
