Historically Low Interest RatesInterest rates are at historical lows! Lower rates equal lower payments, or a larger home ? You choose. Contrary to perceptions, conventional mortgages are available at favorable interest rates for home buyers. Buyers with good credit, a steady income and a realistic view of what they can afford are excellent candidates for a mortgage, even in this market.

When you buy a home, you are building equity and adding to your assets. According to the Federal Reserve Board, the average renter´s net worth is $4,800, while the average homeowner´s net worth is $171,000.
