Believe it or not, even with the uncertainty in the financial markets now is actually a great time to purchase a home. There are several incentives for home buyers to enter today’s housing market.

Houston HOPE is offering up to $30,000 in down payment assistance.

	Mortgage interest rates are near 5 percent – the lowest level in decades.
	Many builders have inventory that is “move-in ready,” and they may offer upgrades or other incentives to seal the deal.
	Add it all up and there may never be another buyer’s market as good as today’s.
	As a long-term investment, homeownership remains a solid investment for individual households, with a track record that can compete with any other purchase in terms of its real benefits
