It's a buyer's market with $8,000 tax credit to home buyers, there is still time to buy and take advantage of this tax benefit. This market cycle presents great opportunity for first-time buyers and investors. The truth is that the real estate market is always a cicle of change. Sometimes the changes are small and unpredictable and other times they are fast and big.
I specialize in working with Short Sales and Pre-foreclosure properties. If an event in your life requires you to buy or sell a home, I can help. The wait and see game is over and looking for the lowest point to buy real estate can be very risky. Buyers who are holding off to purchase believing that they can buy when the market hits rock bottom, often times they face a faster shifting market, with a rush to get in they may end up buying at higher prices than if purchased today. I would say again; Now is the time to buy! With interest rates where they are today and the low asking prices, can you afford to wait? When it comes to investing, it's always been "buy low, sell high." If you are a home owner and would like to have some additional income or build financial wealth, now is the time to invest in real estate. You can buy more properties, you may be able to lock in and hold a great investment property at a low price and low interest rate with a great rental income.
FHA mortgage offers low affordable down payments, very accommodating for first-time home buyers. A higher qualifying purchase price with affordable fixed interest rates. I specialize in helping first-time buyers buy foreclosure or short sale properties at the lowest prices. Buyers can take advantage of FHA loan programs, Home Purchase Assistance with cooperating sellers' closing cost help and other seller incentives. The market is still competitive to sell it's inventory. Consulting and using a Real Estate Professional, like myself can be an extremely great adavntage to any buyer or seller. I work hard to negotiate and represent my clients best interest.
In this market, over-priced properties stay longer to sell. Realistic sellers sell within a shorter timeframe and save cost when they list at market value. So, for homeowners who are hesitant to list their property because they will be selling at such a reduced price, assuming that a seller would like to buy a bigger or even downsize property. The seller should be more inclined to sell their home at a reduced price, buy the new home at the reduced price and pocket the difference. This is also a period in the real estate market where the movement is reversed. During this reverse market, the rate of change can be great for buyers and sellers.
