4 Reasons Why Summer Is a Great Time to Buy a Home!
4 Reasons Why Summer Is a Great Time to Buy a Home! | MyKCM
Here are four great reasons to consider buying a home today instead of waiting.

1. Prices Will Continue to Rise
CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Insights reports that home prices have appreciated by 7% over the last 12 months. The same report predicts that prices will continue to increase at a rate of 5.2% over the next year.

Home values will continue to appreciate for years. Waiting no longer makes sense.

2. Mortgage Interest Rates Are Projected to Increase
Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey shows that interest rates for a 30-year mortgage have increased by half a percentage point already in 2018 to around 4.5%. Most experts predict that rates will rise over the next 12 months. The Mortgage Bankers Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the National Association of Realtors are in unison, projecting that rates will increase by nearly a full percentage point by this time next year.

An increase in rates will impact YOUR monthly mortgage payment. A year from now, your housing expense will increase if a mortgage is necessary to buy your next home.

3. Either Way, You Are Paying a Mortgage
There are some renters who have not yet purchased a home because they are uncomfortable taking on the obligation of a mortgage. Everyone should realize that unless you are living with your parents rent-free, you are paying a mortgage – either yours or your landlord’s.

As an owner, your mortgage payment is a form of ‘forced savings’ that allows you to have equity in your home that you can tap into later in life. As a renter, you guarantee your landlord is the person with that equity.

Are you ready to put your housing cost to work for you?

4. It’s Time to Move on with Your Life
The ‘cost’ of a home is determined by two major components: the price of the home and the current mortgage rate. It appears that both are on the rise.

But what if they weren’t? Would you wait?

Look at the actual reason you are buying and decide if it is worth waiting. Whether you want to have a great place for your children to grow up, you want your family to be safer, or you just want to have control over renovations, maybe now is the time to buy.

If the right thing for you and your family is to purchase a home this year, buying sooner rather than later could lead to substantial savings.

Benefits of Owning a Mills Act Loft

To help preserve the historic buildings of Los Angeles, a tax incentive has been created by California state and local governments called the Mills Act. The special law offers home owners of qualifying historic buildings as much as 70% or more off of their property tax bills. Owners of lofts in a historic building, can potentially save thousands of dollars each year. That money can be used to help furnish your the loft home, put more money down at purchase to reduce monthly mortgage payments, trade up to a larger loft or even just put in your pocket. But, buyers should also be prepared and save some of the money for potential special assessments in the future should building need major restoration.

The Mills Act offers a substantial reduction in property taxes for owners of qualified historical properties provided that they agree to preserve, restore, rehabilitate, and maintain the historical and architectural character of their properties. Many owners report that they save about 2/3 off of their property taxes.  The formula is complex, and may vary, so prospective Mills Act home buyers should check with the city, county and a tax professional to determine what the real savings may be.

Mills Act participants can realize very fruitful property tax savings each year for recently improved or purchased old properties because the valuation of a Mills Act property is determined by the Income Approach to Value rather and not by the common Market approach to calculating appraised value. The Income Approach, divided by a capitalization rate, gives the assessed value of the property. Generally, the income potential for an owner-occupied residential property is calculated by looking at rental rates for comparable nearby properties, while the income from a commercial property is based on actual rent received. Because rental values vary greatly, the actual Mills Act historic property tax savings may vary.
