The Vikingland Builders Association wishes to take this opportunity to thank these member partners in the 2007 Buy Now Campaign:
Top 10 Reasons to BUY a Home
MORE SPACE: Kids, pets, hobbies, in-laws. No explanation necessary.
ENERGY AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY: Today's new homes are increasingly energy-efficient and are constructed with resource conserving materials and techniques to save you money.
AMENITIES: Gourmet kitchen, mini-spa bathroom, home theater. You want it, you got it.
LEVERAGING: Make a down-payment of 10% or less of the value of the house. Earn returns based on the total value of the property. Plus you get to live there!
EQUITY: College expenses, consumer goods, retirement. Your 401 should be so useful.
INTEREST RATES: Currently near historic lows.
GREAT SELECTION: Ample inventory of new and existing homes means more choices, better bargains.
TAX BENEFITS: Your kindly Uncle Sam knows homeownership benefits the nation and encourage it through deductions for mortgage interest and state and local property taxes.
MORE FOR YOUR MONEY: Builders are offering free upgrades, mortgage interest buy-downs and a host of other incentives.
IT'S A BUYER'S MARKET: You're in the drivers seat and can get a great deal on a new or existing home.
