Housing affordability has reached a new all-time high for the first quarter of this year. Along with this, mortgage rates are now at an all-time low (3.75 for 30 year fixed). But what does that really mean? For anyone who doesn’t yet own, now is a great time to buy a home and make it your own.
Housing Affordability
Your Custom Home
So, you know housing affordability is very good at this time. But what if you can’t find an existing home that matches your tastes? You could purchase a lot to build your dream home or you can remodel one of the very affordable existing homes on the market. Either way, you have the potential to build/remodel what you want at a very affordable price if you manage the process yourself as an owner builder with Armchair Builder’s help.
