According to a recent article by Realtor.com, first-time home buyers could have some good news for 2015. One key factor for this improved outlook centers on mortgage rates still remaining at historically-low levels, along with recent improvement in employment prospects for younger people, particularly in the 25-34 age demographic. In addition, there have also been recent to the FHA annual mortgage insurance premium rate, with it being lowered from 1.35% to 0.85%. What this means is that first-time home buyers potentially could afford to buy a home sooner than expected, and that there may be more willingness for them to do so. Very encouraging trends, to be sure, and are definitely worth watching throughout the course of the year. In addition, you can also learn about a new program being offered by the Tennessee Housing Development Agency regarding first-time home buyers, which may allow up to 100% possible financing in certain situations.
With improving trends for potential first-time home buyers nationally, coupled with continued historically-low interest rates, now is a great time to see what the Great Smoky Mountains can do for you.
