Interest rates remain the lowest ever and hopefuly, thel $8,000. tax credit will be extended...there is even a proposal to make it applicable to all homebuyers, rather than just first time buyers.
Bottom line? Inventory is still high, which still makes it a buyer's market...but, sales are slightly down...Buyer's, what are you waiting for? How will you know when it's hit bottom? When it starts going up ! Don't miss this opportunity to buy a home.
Oh, by the way, it's a great time to move up...even if you take a bit less for your smaller house, think of how much you'll save on a larger one.
Happy Hunting !

About Emmy Sarica:
With my background in Sales, Marketing and Design, I will bring a refreshing perspective to your Real Estate needs.
If you are Selling a home, I will formulate a marketing plan that will be unique to your home and neighborhood, making your home stand out from the competition. Together, we will discuss inexpensive "Staging" ideas that will improve the value of your home. Last but not least, I will directly market to your target buyer. The market has changed and you need a realtor who will think out of the box.
As a buyer, I will listen to your needs and take the time to get to know you. I believe that a home must suit your personality too, and this is often overlooked. I will be honest about directing you to a home that will keep you in your budget, whatever that may be, as well as protect your investment.
For me it's not just about Real Estate it's about your Home and Family.
