Thinking about buying a new home in Greenville? This is a prime time to do it.
Last month the Housing Market Index (HMI) was at its highest in nine years. The HMI is based on homebuilder surveys around the nation and is considered a good indicator of how confident home buyers are in the current market
A HMI over 50 is considered a sign that the market is headed in the right direction. In September it was at 59.00. That’s the highest it’s been since November 2005 (read: it’s better than it was even before the housing crash in 2009!). And this month the reading is still good—58 for the Southern U.S.
Another reason that now is a great time to buy a home: Mortgage rates are at their lowest since June 2013. According to Freddie Mac, the national average for 30-year mortgages are at 3.97.
In short, things are headed in the right direction for home buyers right now.
