Here are 3 Reasons Why People are Afraid to Buy a Home:

  1. People are afraid to buy a home because home prices may fall even more! That is always a possibility. Of course there is the possibility that prices could go up as well. Just like when you purchase a stock the value may go up and down over the period of time that you own it. Set reasonable expectations and realize that real estate is a long term investment so don't plan on selling and making a profit in just a few years. Right now with the low interest rates even if you spend a few thousand dollars more on a home you might actually get a better deal if you buy now.
  2. People are afraid to buy a home because with maintenance costs they think owning a home will cost more than renting. Everything in life requires maintenance and usually at a cost, a home is no different. Typically as a renter any maintenance costs that your landlord would have will eventually lead to an increase in your rent. As a renter you are missing out on a lot of tax advantages of a home owner.
  3. People are afraid to buy a home because they are afraid to spend all my savings on a down payment & closing costs. There are a lot of loan programs out there that will assist with a down payment. There are a lot of sellers, particularly builders that are paying closing costs.
