With interest rates on the rise, is now a good time to buy a home? Think back to the peak of the market in 2006—interest rates were at 6%.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today though, interest rates are at just 4%, or 30% less than they were at the market peak. <b>Many buyers today don’t realize when buying a home that the most important part isn’t the sales price, it’s the interest rate.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you waited until next year and they rose to 5%, you would face nearly a 20% increase in your monthly payment. It’s the same as buying a $400,000 house and making a $500,000 payment on it if you wait for rates to go up.</div>

Interest rates are as low as they are going to be.

</div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>When you buy a house, the interest rate is your greatest asset and right now, rates are the lowest they will be. </b>Low rates can mean two things when buying a home: a lower payment or a higher amount you qualify for. </div>
