Homeownership Is Most Affordable These Days

According to the Wall Street Journal, owning a home today is more affordable than any other time in the last 15 years. Thanks to lower interest rates and declining home prices, these days owning a home is cheaper than renting one in 12 of the 27 metro areas the Wall Street Journal has analyzed. Atlanta takes the lead in regards to owning rather than renting. However San Francisco takes the lead in renting versus owning, because it could take about $1,450 a month to own. Even if owning a home these days is very affordable, people are still scared to make that commitment, especially when the economy delivers a high rate of unemployment and already-homeowners are still struggling to make ends meet. Plus, the Jacksonville movers remind you that owning a home doesn’t end with a mortgage payment at the end of each month. There are property taxes, home association fees in certain cases, home maintenance and repairs, insurance and more responsibilities.

If you feel homeownership is right for you, take advantage of the best home prices in the last 15 years. When you find your dream house, call the local Jacksonville movers for an excellent and affordable move.
