5 Reasons Right NOW Is The Time To Build Or Buy A New Home In Wilmington
If you’ve been considering relocating to the Wilmington area, moving into a new community, or building your dream home from the ground up, now is an excellent time to make your consideration a reality. Here are just a few reasons to jump off the fence and get started…now!
1. Mortgage Interest rates will rise in 2017
The broad consensus is that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates 2-3 times this year. As a result, mortgage interest rates will rise along with it. That means now is the ideal time to lock in an interest rate that is still low by industry standards, with the average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage at 4.32 percent this week. Although that’s the highest level since April 2014, it still is historically a bargain.
2. Colder months mean builders have more time for you (and at a better price, typically)
The Sea Love & The Oleander are custom builds from Herrington Homes
Home builders are not as busy during colder months than they are when it warms up in March and into the summer months. Even though cold or bad weather can slow down the building process initially, often times buyers will end up paying much less since demand is lower and materials are less expensive. Herrington Homes of the Wilmington area is a custom home builder of distinction that is helping people make their dream home a reality.
3. More attention, less competition
The winter months are typically slower months for home sales. Let’s face it, it’s not as fun bundling up to go look at real estate. On the bright side, bundling up can have huge benefits on the level of service you receive. Real estate agents have more time to work with you during colder months and developers or lot owners may be willing to offer a better deal since you’re competing against fewer potential buyers.
4. Shop the best of the best in community living
