5 Reasons to Buy a Home in 2011

Real estate is likely to improve in 2011. Here are five reasons consumers should consider a home purchase next year:

1. Mortgage rates will stay low. Even with rates climbing (maybe to as high as 6 percent by 2012) they are still well below where they have been historically.

2. Tax cuts could help. Extending the tax cuts could encourage a more rapid recovery for the economy.

3. Americans want to be home owners. A recent Fannie Mae survey showed that Americans still believe a home is a safe and desirable investment.

4. Builders are about to begin building. Home builders have been sitting on the sidelines. This year, they think pent-up demand will create an appetite for new homes.

5. Homes are shrinking. Homes are getting smaller, which has made them more affordable.
