“For the first time in a long time, you can actually get both a short-and long-term gain
on a real estate investment. With prices down, interest rates at record lows, and so many would-be buyers deciding to rent instead,

it’s a great time to buy a real estate investment.” -Barbara Corcoran

CBS Early Showmoney maven Ray Martinweighed in on the Saturday Edition about whether buying is indeed the way go to now.

Question:IS THIS A GOOD TIME TO INVEST IN REAL ESTATE?

Answer: Yes, it is, and for a number of reasons. For one thing, housing prices are declining just about nationwide. Plus, mortgage rates are at a serious low. Rates on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage are at a level we won’t see again in our lifetime. Finally, if you buy before December 1, you’ll get an $8,000 tax credit if you’re a first-time buyer. For all those reasons, there’s really never been a better time to go shopping for real estate.
