Northwest Indiana housing prices are stable and have experienced moderate increases over the past five years, going against the national trend. In 2007, the median selling price for residential property decreased 1.4 percent nationally, but in Northwest Indiana, the median selling price increased 5.3 percent.  

Plus with affordable interest rates, safer financing options, and an abundance of homes to choose from putting off buying a home could cost you in the long run.

A year from now today’s interest rates could be history, less homes will be on the market and combine all that with rising home prices, the home you should have bought this year will end up costing you more next year.

Buying a home is your greatest investment. Not only does it provide shelter, security, stability and a lifetime of memories, but it is the key to building personal wealth. In fact, 60 percent of a homeowner’s wealth is from the equity they have built in their home.
