			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people ask  &#8220;Is this a good time to buy a house?&#8221;.  Sure it is. Right now there&#8217;s money that banks are loaning; interest rates are low; there are properties available.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s holding some people back? Fear that the market will further erode, or that interest rates will go up too fast. Those things could happen &#8211; or maybe not!</p>
<p>It really has a great deal to do with what one&#8217;s personal outlook is.  If you believe it then it becomes so.  Do nothing &#8211; sit it out &#8211; until the market changes. It just might get worse. But, again the market just may have gotten as bad as it will get.</p>
<p>Or do something &#8211; you can make a decision to act sooner and &#8211; ride it out &#8211; come what may.  Buy what you can truly afford through thick or thin and you just might have gotten the home you really want.</p>
<p>To help prepare yourself to become an informed buyer, check out this recent article  San Jose Mercury News &#8220;Making the Homeowner Leap&#8221;<br />
