If you've been straddling the fence of buying a house, you could be kicking yourself when the single feather in his hand. Never in the history of maps Beens piled for the buyer as they are today.

Here are eight reasons to be convinced that now is the time to stop renting and buy your own home.

1. The contract is with you. A buyer's market occurs when there are more sellers than buyers, which gives more choice and lower prices due to oversupply. The houses are bought in the market for both buyer and seller, but for the buyer, it's time to get the most for your money.

2. The rates favorable interest. From the week ending April 16, 2009, 30-year fixed-Rate Mortgage averaged 4.82 percent. The same period last year, the same mortgage was 5.88 percent. "Five years of hybrid adjustable-rate Mortgages (ARM) were 4.88 percent, 5.48 percent a year ago and the lowest since 2005. Imagine knowing that for the next 30 years, you pay less than 5 percent to your mortgage.

3. Exclusion from opportunities abound. Currently Foreclosure properties represent about a quarter of all home sales. In California, 55 percent of all closures are the property of the entity credit. Banks do not want to be in the real estate business are dictating the prices of houses, and are eager to recoup their investment and sell. You must be careful with what you buy, but the offers are there.

4. Tax credit for first time buyers. If a buyer does not own a house in the last three years, and falls within the range of rights revenue that can take a tax credit equal to 10% of the purchase price of the house, to a maximum of $ 7,500. This applies to homes which have closed between April 9, 2008, and before 1 July 2009, and can be applied to either the 2008 or 2009 taxes.

The really nice Perk of this tax credit is that it is true. If you owe $ 8500 in refundable tax credit of $ 7,500 out of the top, leaving an outstanding balance only $ 1000.

Not only is this refundable tax credit, but also ready. This means that buyers in two years should begin to pay more $ 500 per year for 15 years. If the house is sold during this period, the amount is withdrawn from use. If any benefit, the loan will be wiped clean slate and new account.

5. The rental cost is not decreasing, but prices of houses. The cost to buy a house has fallen in most of the United States some regions harder than ever. This price cut has not affected income that has remained fairly solid. According to a report by John Burns Consulting Real Estate in Irvine, Calif., who has interviewed 50 percent of the 76 markets in the main area in the country, the average person can buy a house for less than could rent one.

6. Sound investment. In this tenuous financial institutions hedge fund market is volatile and bankruptcy is good to have an investment you can feel relatively safety. Every dollar you pay against your top pocket when you finally sell, and with some additional added benefit to start.

7. More house for your money. With lower global prices and low interest rates, a new buyer can start with a home much more than what they could if they had entered the market four years ago.

8. Today, built-in security devices. Some states, like California are trying to make it easier for people to invest in a home. The Association of Realtors in California have introduced the Housing Fund capacity Purchase Protection Program. For a house purchased in 2009, if a landlord can not make their payments to the fund will cover up to $ 1,500 / month for six months.
