You may be surprised to learn that the perfect time to buy is when it is right for you, not at some specific date on the calendar. There is almost always an ample supply of homes available at fair prices.
Mortgages are plentiful too, although interest rates do rise and fall periodically.
Begin by selecting a real estate company and agent to assist you in the decision. You may expect to be treated fairly and with honesty. Real estate companies generally represent home sellers, thus they are familiar with homes currently available, as well as mortgage financing. Once you select an agent, ask for an appointment to discuss your home purchase plans. Don't expect a tour to look at available homes on your first visit.
