On The Other Hand

Tired of that horrible commute? Want to raise the kids in a better neighborhood? The housing market may be in a shambles right now but maybe things aren't all as bad as they seem. For some there's never been a better time to buy a home.

The mortgage crisis has caused prices in many markets to drop to unheard of lows. Experts predict that there is no end in sight and that prices will continue to fall. This puts some buyers in a great position to finally buy the house of their dreams. In fact some homes are about $100,000 to $200,000 less than they were just a year or two ago. It's obviously not all good news, but it is encouraging that in some places prices are beginning to level out with family income.

If you've always wanted to improve your quality of life or are just plain tired of renting then now could be the best time to start looking.
