Spring is on its way and its tax season once again. Tax season can be an excellent time to for a new house because there are so many advantages to buying at this time. Hopefully you have already made your yearly trip to your accountant and you have a good idea of how you want to improve this year from last. You may have a return coming and are looking where to put that extra cash. Maybe a new living room set or giant television. You have had a chance to pause and look at how all your investments performed over the last 12 months.
Most people are not too excited about the returns they've seen in stocks and bonds in this weak economic environment. Purchasing a home can be an excellent investment of the money you would otherwise pay in rent. Real estate is an area that shows tremendous potential at this time. One reason this is a good time to buy real estate is that the depressed market has created some real bargains and the value of properties bought now are sure to increase in the coming years. It is much better to purchase in the lower end of the cycle than near peak. Another benefit to purchasing at this time are the tax incentives. You have always had more tax deductions as an owner but now there are available tax credits for both purchase and for many energy efficient improvements.
While it may be a little more difficult to get a purchase money mortgage in the recent lending market, it can be done. That tax return could make the difference in your down payment. Interest rates are some of the lowest in memory, actually only sightly above inflation. This combined with the number of bargain priced properties available makes this one of the best times in history to buy real estate. Take that check from Uncle Sam and invest it in something lasting. The flat screen TV can wait for next year, get the wall first. Make 2010 the year you buy your new home.
