“But what if mortgage rates drop next month…”, “I’d hate to pay too much for a home”, “I want to buy at the absolute bottom of the market…not a penny more!” “What if I buy now and then price go down again – I’ll be upside down within a few months!”

It’s human nature to want the best deal – the nicest house for your money – the lowest possible interest rate. But while caution may be good in choosing which stocks have good investment potential, many people lose sight of the fact that the primary reason for buying a home is to provide shelter for you and your family. Yes, I know that many have speculated in real estate over the last few years and cashed in on the escalating home prices. But those days are not these days.

Today your main motivation should be to find the best fit for your budget and your family. Does it really matter whether you pay 5% or 4% for a mortgage if you find a home that fits nicely into your conservative financial plan? Isn’t it more important to have a space for your daughter to practice the piano away from the noisy den than to have a cheap house with a floor plan that’s all wrong? Or wouldn’t you enjoy a beautiful shade tree in the back yard where you can hang a hammock more than a great deal on a home right next to a busy road?

Yes, there will be buyers who will buy at the lowest prices of the century and get a low mortgage too. But will they have the luxury of picking out a home that fits their needs, that nurtures their soul? Will they find a home that makes them go “Aaaaaah!” at the end of the day as they walk through the front door? Or will they merely use the space as a functional place to lay their head.

If you look to what makes a house a home, you’ll find that the grass is just as green, if not greener in a home chosen for love rather than money!

Granbury is a city in Hood County, Texas, in the United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 5,718. It is the county seat of Hood County. Founded in the 1860's, Granbury started as a square and log cabin court house. Many of the buildings on the square are now registered historic landmarks, including the Granbury Opera House, which still hosts Broadway productions. The city name originated from the Confederate General Hiram B. Granbury. Recent expansion of the city was possible from the damming of the Brazos River in 1969, which formed Lake Granbury, a long, narrow lake which flows through the city. Granbury and Hood County are rich in Texas history. David (Davy) Crockett's wife, Elizabeth, settled in Hood County following the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Crockett, as well as other Alamo participants, received land grants. The Crockett family received land in what is now Hood County. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
