Housing Market Getting Fired Up Again—And Prices too?

First the good news: The housing market is recovering. New home building permit requests are steadily climbing, sales of homes are increasing back toward a very healthy level, and millions and millions of dollars are now available to loan for new mortgages.

The bad news: All of this means that home prices are going to start going up again, and very, very soon. In fact, the leading data shows that prices are probably as good as they’re going to get, and they’ll start climbing up soon.

This is a historic time for new homebuyers: Not only are prices the best they’ve been in years, but the government will even help offset $8,000 of your purchase, and the mortgage rates are even still phenomenally low. Don’t pass up this rare opportunity to own the home of your dreams at a price you may never, ever see again—find the home of your dreams at Capitol Gateway today!

Get the Help You Need: VA & FHA Loans Are Still Available

Whether tough times or good times, we can all use as much help as we can get for our new home financing. Our Federal Government has several programs that help many people realize the American dream of home ownership.

VA loans are available to help veterans and active-duty personnel “to purchase and retain homes in recognition of their service to the Nation.” FHA loans are available to anybody but are used most often by first-time homebuyers. There are no income limit qualifications for either program. And even if your credit is less than perfect, an FHA loan could be the right loan for you, so those with financial problems may still qualify for financing.

Both the VA and FHA programs provide advantages: You don’t need a high income in order to qualify for a loan, interest rates are often below standard market rates, and extremely low down payments can be made. For VA loans, the down payment can even be as low as 0%. At Capitol Gateway, we can help you find lenders who will work with you to find the right financing for your needs. Contact us today to learn more about all your options!

Pay the Landlord? Or PAY YOURSELF?

Don’t let the best opportunity ever to live your dreams slip past you—prices are rising, interest rates will soon rise too, and the $8,000 tax credit program ends on December 1st, 2009. Don’t wait another day—make your dream of home ownership a reality at Capitol Gateway.

Why Smart Homebuyers Buy Before Prices Bounce

The signs of recovery in the real estate market are beginning to show up more frequently as we pass the mid-point of 2009. With home sales picking up, prices are starting to rebound. While this is good for our economy, it also means that before long, prices and mortgage interest rates will be on the upswing, possibly making it harder for you to own your own home.

If you want to get the best price for your new home, the answer is to buy before prices and interest rates get high again. Smart homebuyers know to when to stop waiting and start making an offer—before the price starts to bounce, because they’ll save possibly thousands of dollars simply by buying before the bounce in prices. which would cost them a lot more money for the very same home. Call (202) 397-1112 or click here to contact Capitol Gateway today to learn about all your options for making homeownership a reality at Capitol Gateway while you can still get the best price!
