Second Quarter 2006
 - It seems that supply and demand have finally leveled off. This will be a great cooling off period. As NYC properties always have a higher level of turnover, the demand will never evaporate. Single people turn into couples and then into families. Each life change usually requires a change of address. Obviously, rising interest rates will make home ownership more expensive. Buyers may think that waiting for lower home prices is the smart option, however, interest rates increases are outpacing price reductions. Waiting may actually cost the buyer more. Here's the math: Purchase Price $1,000,000 Mortgage – 75% $ 750,000 Interest Rate 6% Mortgage Payment $4,500 Purchase Price $950,000 Mortgage – 75% $712,500 Interest Rate 7% Mortgage payment $4,745 Monthly difference: $245 Buyers should try to lock in good deals while interest rates are still relatively low. Look for properties that are priced realistically. The market should remain steady throughout the end of the year.
