I've been hearing a lot of bad news about the economy. Is it safe to buy a home now?

It depends on where you live and what type of house you're looking for, but generally speaking, it is still possible to purchase a home today if you have good credit and are able to afford the monthly payments. However, there may be more competition for homes in your area, so you should do some research and make sure you understand the current market conditions before making any decisions.
