# Special Considerations when purchasing
a Home
There’s a saying on Wall Street: “Don’t try to time the market.” This also applies to real estate. The number one factor is your ability to afford a home without getting in over your head. That said, if you’re looking for an edge, interest rates are near historic lows, so now is a better time than most to purchase a home.
# KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Borrowers should explore their loan options and take advantage of low-interest loans if they have a good credit score and little debt.
- Attempting to time the market is not a good idea. However, interest rates are currently at historic lows, so now is a good time to buy.
- While monitoring if home values are rising or falling are important metrics, the best time to buy a house is when you can afford it.
So if you can afford to buy a home then go ahead and buy yourself your dream home.
