Low down payments combined with low interest rates is going to open up the market to a lot of buyers who have been sidelined by the high entrance fee (down payment) into home ownership.  There's a good chance that this could significantly impact demand for entry level housing like condos, townhouses and small single family homes.  Higher demand will put upward pressure on prices and we could see prices increase quickly.  If you want to take advantage of this new trend you should act quickly.  Low rates combined with a low down payment and increased inventory provide an outstanding opportunity for buyers.  Act before it's too late!
