As we all can see that US housing crash still continues it is still not a good time to buy. Those who are thinking to buy a home are making a wrong decision they should wait till the prices falls more. I must tell you that falling house prices are the solution to your problems and not the problem itself.
House Prices are Still High
The prices are still dangerously high as compared to the incomes and rents due to this reason house prices will keep falling in most places. It is suggested by banks that a safe mortgage is a maximum of 3 times the buyer’s yearly income. Whereas the landlords suggest that a safe price is a maximum of 15 times the tenant’s yearly rent.
However both those safety rules are still being violated in coastal areas. Although recently the price has been decreased but buyers are still borrowing 6 times their income and sellers are still asking for 30 times annual rent.
Renting is a cash business that shows those rates what people can really pay, and it does not reflects how much they can borrow. It has been proved by the salaries and rents that the prices will keep falling for a long time. Anyone who bought a “bargain” this time last year is already been suffering from a great loss.
