How Affordable is Housing in Brentwood Ca 94513 Right Now? - October 2011

How Affordable is Housing in Brentwood Ca 94513 Right Now?

Right now people seem to be a little concerned that housing prices are not going down and may even be going up a little.  And in some Markets in Brentwood Housing Prices may be going up.

However, Housing is much more affordable than last year.  The main reason - Interest Rates.  

Last year if you purchased a $300,000.00 home with 20% down at a rate of 5% the payment would be $1,288.37.  

This year if you purchased a home at $335,000.00 with 20% down at a rate of 4% the payment would $1,279.47.

I will tell you right now there is no market in this area were prices have climbed by more than 10% in the past year but Housing Affordability keeps coming way down.  

I cannot imagine Interest Rates getting much lower and there are reports that they are starting to climb.  Many speculate that we are heading for inflation both in Interest Rates and Prices.

There are many different types of loans and scenarios; but in general this is what has been happening with interest rates and housing affordability.  

There has never been a better time to Buy a Home.  Take a Look at these Homes then Call me at 925-260-4321 to speak find out about getting one.  I can provide a quality referral to a lender than will review all options with you.
