A Little Bit of the Unknown Lies Ahead

With all the problems going on in the world the markets do not have any direction except downward for now. The "experts" are still saying everything is fine and the housing market is still good but the reality is there is a fairly large and very troubling slowdown in our housing market in many of the previously "hot" areas. People are now sitting by the sidelines because of concern for their jobs and a fear of a slowdown in the economy. It is a very justified concern and we recommend you shop hard and bargain hard for that home if you are in the market. Get the lowest rates and fees possible.The first thing is that you need to have good credit scores. You can check your credit scores online at My Fico.Com or Equifax.
Next, you need to have some savings for a 5% or more down payment. Do you have a good way to save for a down payment? We highly recommend Emigrant Direct. They pay 5% on their savings account, with no minimums, no fees.
Make offers on the homes that would leave you some room if prices still come back down some more. Do not let your home buying time be one of trouble. Shop right and it can be a enjoyable purchase. www.rateinformer.com
