Anyone with good credit and the money for a 20 percent down payment should give serious consideration to purchasing a home. Why? To be concise, housing prices are considerably off their highs, and mortgage rates are near record lows. These two factors make a good argument to purchase a property with a value price and lock in the interest rate on a mortgage for 15, 20, or 30 years that seems to have nowhere to go but up. Of course, both housing prices and mortgage rates may fluctuate, but the trend has been clear over the past two years. All this makes the most sense for individuals and families who have dreamed of having a home to consolidate their lifestyles.
