Buying A Smaller Home in San Antonio
The average home size purchased in 2009 fell from 2520 to 2480.
Owning a smaller home can definitely have it's upside...or should I say downsizing of expenses. Smaller homes use less energy to heat and cool, more likely to have lower property taxes, and consumes way less personal energy to clean and decorate.
Downsizing is a great opportunity to clean out the clutter and rid yourself and home of unused extra "stuff". Do not avoid this golden opportunity by getting a storage shed...who needs to waste precious hard earned income on storing this extra unused stuff!
This "buyer's market" moment in time is the time pounce on getting that home you have been dreaming of...and don't forget to take advantage of the 8K tax credit if you are a first time home buyer or the $6500 tax credit extended to current home owners that have owned their current home for at least 5 yrs.

Proposed Mortgage Lending Changes
Just when you thought it was safe to go in the water....
FHA notes currently require a 3.5% down payment and the ability to allow a seller to contribute up to 6% toward a buyer's closing costs. The proposed changes for the spring or early summer of 2010 will remain 3.5% down with a good credit score and will rise to a wopping 10% down for scores under 580...
Seller contribution will also be reduced from 6% to 3%.
Now if that's not enough to get a contemplating buyer off the fence, the FED will be winding down some of their current programs that have been keeping the interest rates low.
So buy now and get a great interest rate and the seller to pay for your closing costs with minimal downpayment...or wait till later and see what it could cost you.
Currently our San Antonio housing market has much to choose from with great pricing...our home values here didn't take a nose dive and they are starting to improve in many locations...so I wouldn't anticipate a lowering there with the exception of the foreclosed homes.
