Wanna Buy a House?
Posted Monday, August 27, 2007
There is a lot these days about credit and the sub-prime market. The values of homes have risen dramatically over the past ten years. Now in many areas that growth has slowed and even stopped.
So how has this impacted you? Those who have purchased homes above their means are feeling the pinch and many lenders have suffered now that the bubble has burst. In the end, the impact of this will be felt by everyone.
To my friends in banking I ask this. What opportunities exist now that could possibly strengthen your business? Are there any advantages to the outcome of the sub-prime lending?
As a home buyer, if you were looking to invest in real estate, I would say that the next year or two are going to provide some great opportunities provided you have the capital to spend. I am guessing there will be homes that are going to be at bargain prices and you will be able to get more than what you paid for three years ago.
