Homes are now undervalued compared with the size of the U.S. economy. The chart tracks the S&P/Case-Shiller National Home Price Index and the value of gross do-mestic product before adjusting for infla-tion. By this measure, homes are the most undervalued in at least two decades, according to the BusinessWeek article that first pub-lished this story.

When you combine that with mortgage rates which have dropped again to the lowest point in the last 40 years, and we have almost a perfect storm for buying opportuni-ties. Contact you local professional Realtor® today for more information to help you make an informed decision.
