Here are seven reasons why you should buy now: Lowest rates in years Interest rates on a 30-year fixed mortgage are at historic lows. With these low rates, buyers can save thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. More homes are available The affordability index is at an all-time high. There also are more homes from which to choose. Lots of homes are “movein” ready and more energy efficient, making them more affordable to operate. Many potential home buyers are being cautious and are still waiting on the sidelines, so competition for buyers is also low. Experts estimate there are eight months of excess inventory in a buyers market, but that will change once inventory is gone. Welcome to the 2010 Parade of Homes Welcome to the Parade of Homes—a summer tradition with a new twist and more new ideas. The 2010 Denver Parade of Homes is celebrating its 23rd year of showcasing some of the area’s finest new homes so you can get great ideas for your own home or start thinking about what you want in a new one. As youmayhavenoticed,this year’s Parade is different. It’s a new format—one that works successfully in other cities—and features nearly 60 homes that are new, have never been lived in, haveadiversepricerangeandarelocatedthroughoutthegreater Denver metro area.
