Reason #2:  Housing material costs will continue to rise.  Building and construction materials are simply going to be more expensive in the future so new home prices will continue to rise in the coming months and years.  Simply put, you will never again be able to get a new home with the amenities and square footage for the prices you can today.

Reason #3:  Land is limited…they won’t make more of it. Costs and development costs have been rising, and builders have substantial investments in land development. But with the market the way it has been since 2007, builders are seeking liquidity. As a result, prices are temporarily below market value or available at substantial savings. Now is the time to buy if you are looking for a little “space” and a plot of land to call your own.  

Reason #4:  Housing costs are at their lowest while inventory is dimensioning.  If you are waiting for the lowest price for a new home in Austin, now is the time to buy. Why?  All predictions point to excess new home inventory leveling out by March 2009 and with the ever increasing costs of home building, now is the perfect time to buy a new home at a great price. 

Reason #5:  Your home is not just a house, it’s your refuge! Your home is where you build lifelong memories with you gather with friends and family. Start building memories you’ll cherish in your new home from Texas Classic Homes.
