Quite Honestly, you would be hard pressed Not make a smart purchase in this market. Between the prices of homes, the interest rates lower than they have Ever been and the incentives being offered, especially if you are a 1st time homebuyer, the label of "The Perfect Storm" is right on point.
I think buying a home in West Point is a great idea, if West Point is where you want to live. If you are a first time homebuyer, I am sure one of the hesitations you must be feeling right now is that you DON'T want to make a mistake, however what I tell my homebuyers is that it is the emotional connection to the home and it's surroundings that is important. The most entreating value of a home is that it is just that....home. If West Point (and I happen to like that area and have sold homes there) is comfortable for you...if you feel at home there....that is where you should be looking.
On the practical side, there are advantages like Rural Housing that will help you get into a home, especially if you don't have a lot of money for downpayment. Housing prices are less there than they are in Salt Lake, so that is an advantage too.
So, if you have a home you are looking at...Go for it! If you want to look at homes in the West Point area, I would invite you to visit http://www.searchsaltlakehomes.com where you can find homes in West Point and other areas that might interest you.
