We are in a buyer's market. The average time property is on the market has increased and prices have come down.
Is this a good time to buy real estate? I answer with a resounding, "YES!". Historically, the market has climbed, then cooled, then climbed some more. It's been rare for values to decline significantly. By buying property now, you're positioned to take advantage of the next climb in values that we're destined to see. Would you rather buy when values are at their current level or after the market heats up again and prices are higher?
I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard a buyer say, "I wish I had bought last year when I was looking." Real estate, especially Florida waterfront property, represents as fine an investment as there is to be found anywhere. Leveraging the investment by making a nominal down payment and getting a mortgage increases the Return On Investment from any given rate of increase in value. Go ahead and compare the ROI on another investment & I'm sure you'll agree.
We offer serious buyers notification of new listings via e-mail the 1st day they come on the market so you can stay on top of the market.
