There has never been a better time to buy a house, even though the Gig Harbor real estate market is beginning to slow. In a hot market, the second you came across a house, you had to jump on it.
Now, with greater selection, you are able to take the time to find the ideal home. The existing market also allows much more room for bargaining. The entire process might take a bit longer, but buyers have much more say at the table. At this moment, interest rates are still relatively low. Rates are not at 5.84%, like they were in 2004, but you are still getting a fantastic deal, for the most part.
It is usually smart to invest in a home. Whether you are buying to sell, or buying to keep, owning a piece of real estate is going to yield great tax benefits.
