<p>Home prices are one factor in determining your cost of ownership, but so are interest rates and financing availability.&nbsp; Even though interest rates have gone up in the last six months, they are still near historic lows.&nbsp; Since your monthly mortgage payment is a combination of paying down your principal and paying the interest owed, if home prices come down a little further but interest rates go up, it could cost you even more to service a mortgage on an identical home!</p>
<p>While a home is a major investment, it is also the center of your personal life.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s important to live in a home that reflects your taste and values, yet is within your financial &ldquo;comfort zone.&rdquo;&nbsp; To that end, it may be more important to lock in today&rsquo;s relatively low interest rates and low home prices, rather than to hope for a further break in prices in the future.</p>
<p>Please give me a call if I can be of any assistance in determining how much home you can afford in today&rsquo;s market.</p>]]></description><link>http://www.prestige-austin.com/Blog/Should-I-Buy-a-Home-Now</link><guid>http://www.prestige-austin.com/Blog/Should-I-Buy-a-Home-Now</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:44:00 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>FABULOUS ITALIAN VILLA ON LAKE AUSTIN!!</title><description><![CDATA[<img src="http://www.prestige-austin.com/property/3700-Rivercrest-Drive-New-Home-Austin-Texas/i/118136/0/t?pid=" title="To-Be-Built Itialian Villa" alt="Approximately 6652 square feet." style="float:left; padding:3px;" /><p>Fabulous To-Be-Built Itialian Villa on Lake Austin.&nbsp; Designed by Robert Kaler and Tom Pitt.&nbsp; Plans have been permitted by The City of Austin.&nbsp; Minor modifications to design/paint colors allowed.
