Why Buy A Home Now?


Why Buy A Home Now?

Three very important reasons to buy now are:

* Interest rates are near all time lows;
* Home prices have declined to levels not seen in years; and
* Qualified first-time home buyers are now eligible for up to an $8,000 tax credit.


One final point to consider. Even if you believe that home prices will continue to decline, it's very difficult to believe that interest rates will remain at these low levels.

Did you know that even if home prices were to decline 10% but also during that time, interest rates available for home loans were to increase by 1.00%, your monthly principal and interest payment would actually be higher? It's true. So, if you are thinking of buying or the end of your lease is near, get busy and get in the game.

Are you ready to start your home search? Pictures of homes are nice, but you can't buy a home on the internet. Who can you trust? Who should you call?

Why not start with us, Craig and Linda of the Rutman Jandura Team....


We know the area. We know the neighborhoods. We know where the hospitals, shopping and schools are. And, probably most importantly, we know our market.

One thing you will learn when working with my partner Linda and myself is that we will NOT sell you a house, but we WILL help you find a home.

We'll only show you what you want to see, we won't screen out any homes, nor will we steer you in any particular direction.

What we will do is give you our honest opinions of the homes we see and, when the time comes to put pen to paper, you'll know all that is possible to know about that particular home.

We can't stress enough that in North Carolina having a buyer's agent costs you nothing. If you call the number on the sign in front of a property, you're getting the seller's agent....the agent THEY hired to represent them, not you.
That seller has a team working for them. You should too.

We'd like to be that team.

Please ask questions, give us a call or send us an email.
We're here to help.
