SALES ARE STILL RISING, PROPERTIES ARE SELLING QUICKLY, AND THE INVENTORY IS SHRINKING. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE GREAT OPPORTUNITIES!! Many Sellers have reduced their prices and are experiencing multiple offers. Don't miss this opportunity to find your dream property before the desirable inventory disappears. THE GOOD DEALS ARE GOING QUICKLY. Buyers who want to take advantage of this declining market must realize that these good deals will not last forever. There are motivated sellers who are lowering their prices on a daily basis, in addition to the fact that there are so many wonderful choices available today that were not available in the past. The better choices are going quickly. Home prices are back to 2003 levels and still declining. Although it may be another year for prices to hit bottom, this is the time to make offers. Prices do not just stop dropping and then start going up --- there's usually a period when the prices are flat for some time before they start rising again on a marginal basis.
In this challenging economic environment, it is important to find someone with extensive knowledge of values, the tenacity of proper follow through, superior marketing skills for the highest Internet exposure, and strong negotiation skills for a timely and successful sale. I sold 23 beach area condos in 2008 and 13 so far in 2009. If you are a Seller, let me use my knowledge & expertise to assist you in establishing an effective pricing and marketing strategy that will generate a sale in today's market, understanding that you will also get a discounted price on the purchase of a subsequent property.
Properties that are priced correctly are selling quickly, although most of the increased sales activity has resulted from the large number of distressed properties entering the marketplace. Buyers seem focused on short sales (40% of current listings) and foreclosures in hopes of getting a "better deal". Many Sellers "have to sell' in this declining market and are reducing their prices.
Real estate has always been a good investment when you are able to buy at the right time and wait. DON'T MISS THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE. NOW IS THE TIME TO INVEST IN YOUR FUTURE. Call me to discuss your options 954-770-8525.
