Wouldn’t it be nice to ring in the New Year in a new home? If that’s one of your resolutions, you’re in luck. The end of 2014 is the perfect time to buy!

2015 will see a further increase in the housing market, which means rising costs. Here is what Freddie Mac predicts in the most recent housing reports:

–Mortgage rates will rise. Now is the time to buy in order to take advantage of low interest rates, currently averaging about four percent nationwide.

–Home prices will rise by three percent. Buying sooner is better than later.

–The housing market will be more competitive. Home sales will increase by an estimated five percent from 2014, so there will be more buyers out there with you.

So, accomplish your 2015 resolution early, and let Gerstad Builders help. Our Williams Bay homes at Bailey Estates offer a country setting with city conveniences.
