Flyer Lists 10 Great Reasons to Buy a Home

With “It’s a Great Time to Buy" promotional materials in hand, NAHB members are continuing to emphasize the opportunities for buying a home in today’s buyer’s market — including a leveling off in prices, affordable mortgage interest rates and a buoyant national economy that is generating new jobs and income growth.

A one-page flyer in the free, online package lists the top 10 reasons to buy a home:

  1. It’s a Buyer’s Market: You’re in the driver’s seat and can get a great deal on a new or existing home. Yes, dreams do come true.

  2. More for Your Money: Builders are offering free upgrades, mortgage interest buy-downs and a host of other incentives.

  3. Tax Benefits: Your kindly Uncle Sam knows homeownership benefits the nation and encourages it through deductions for mortgage interest and state and local property taxes.

  4. Great Selection: Ample inventory of new and existing homes means more choices.

  5. Interest rates: Currently near historic lows.

  6. Equity: College expenses, consumer goods, retirement. Your 401k should be so useful.

  7. Leveraging: Make a downpayment of 10% or less of the value of the house. Earn returns based on the total value of the property. Plus you get to live there! What’s not to like?

  8. Amenities: Gourmet kitchen, mini-spa bathroom, home theater. You want it, you got it! It’s all about you.

  9. Energy and Resource Efficiency: Today’s new homes are increasingly energy-efficient and are constructed with resource conserving materials and techniques to save you money.

  10. More space: Kids, pets, hobbies, in-laws. No explanation necessary.
