Joe in Holly Springs is wondering what areas offer the best value when buying a home. Angie says to look for neighborhoods with new construction with homes under $350,000. They are hard to find but Honeycutt Farms is a good spot to check out in Holly Springs. Downton Square townhomes are another good option when seeking new construction homes with a garage.
Elle in Chapel Hill says they qualify for a $500,000 loan. Their first home was just over $100,000 so this size loan seems really big. Are buyers taking out bigger loans? It has become more affordable for buyers to lend from the bank thanks to lower interest rates. The national mortgage average is around $410,000. To get into this market, you will need to spend more. Homes in the area continue to appreciate so the prices continue to rise. Of course, you need to feel comfortable with the cost of your mortgage and your monthly payments.
Paul in Raleigh is hopeful that the housing market will cool down in the fall and winter months. Angie says “cool off” probably isn’t the best term. It might slow down, but the market is still going up in this area.
