Have you considered purchasing a home in 2016?

2016 may finally be the year to buy the home you have been dreaming of.  According to CNN Money, 2016 is the year to buy!  With interest rates still low and the possibility of them increasing soon, the window for low mortgage rates will begin to close.  Why not take advantage of the low rates before it’s too late?  Rent is also expected to continue to rise, which is only one more reason to get out of your rental and into a purchased home.  In some cases, mortgages will even be cheaper than rent.
