Reasons to Buy Now!

A great article was just published in the RealtyTimes by Carla Hill. She discusses five reasons you should consider buying now.
1. Equity: buying while the market is down means you can build equity as the market returns.
2. Relationships: this is perhaps the most important. Renters move in and out. People who own in a community, build relationships and lives together.
3. Predictability: fixed mortgage rates are at an all time low. You'll be able to count on what your payment will be and manage your finances better.
4. Ownership: no relying on anyone else. You own your domain.
5. Great Deals: there is no questioning that you can get the best deal on a new home today than at any time in the recent past.

It's sort of like the perfect storm of home buying. Take advantage of it!

The View From the Roof

Van Metre is preparing to move their corporate headquarters to the new Stone Ridge Professional Center. The Library will occupy the first two floors, and Van Metre will take the 4th floor for offices and their new Design Center. The move is planned for late November. It's going to be tough to concentrate on work though. The view overlooking Stone Ridge and the mountains is spectacular.

Welcome to Stone Ridge Van Metre employees! You'll love it here.
