Reasons to Buy a Bixby, OK home in 2011!

In a recent article posted in Realtormag, Michele Lerner gives 5 reasons why you should buy a home in 2011. They include:

▪ Mortgage rates will stay low. Even with rates climbing — maybe to as high as 6 percent by 2012 — they are still well below where they have been historically.
▪ Tax cuts could help
. Extending the tax cuts could encourage a more rapid recovery for the economy.
▪ Americans want to be home owners
. A recent Fannie Mae survey showed that Americans still believe a home is a safe and desirable investment.
▪ Builders are about to begin building
. Home builders have been sitting on the sidelines. This year, they think pent-up demand will create an appetite for new homes.
▪ Homes are shrinking
. Homes are getting smaller, which has made them more affordable.
