Owning a home – it’s not as crazy as it sounds.

Owning your own home might feel like a “someday” dream, but what if the smartest time to buy is today? Trust us—it’s not as crazy as it sounds.

  • If you’re paying rent, there’s a good chance you can afford to buy. In fact, your mortgage payments could be very similar to the rent payments you already make. 
  • Mortgage rates are at all-time lows—and they could go up soon, so buying now means you can afford more home. See how much rates can affect your buying power.
