todays news

November 16th, 2007 12:48 PM

I watched the news today and saw something very good on NBC. The guest was Susie Ormon, and when asked if this was a good time to buy she replies "Yes it is. If you need to buy now, go ahead and remember to ask for everything you want, Its a buyers market, so get the house you want at the price you want, if the sellers won't negotiate, don't waste time, go to the next house and make an offer!"

If buyers could see what agents are seeing, that homes are being sold at very good prices and terms, they would buy two not one. This is the market that a savvy investor is at home in. The person who can be comfortable buying a cheap home in todays market, is the big winner.

Bad press hurts

October 26th, 2007 2:57 PM

We are getting bombarded with negative press about the market. I cannot understand why a buyer would not want to buy a home in this fantastic time. Donald Trump said "buy low, sell high".

Why wait until the prices go up and then start your seach? Once prices start to go up, and inventory goes down, the choices are slimmer.

thinking of buying a Short Sale???

October 7th, 2007 9:07 AM

A short sale is a tough buy. The listing agents must disclose that the house is a short sale, not yet under bank foreclosure. Usually the agents and buyers need to know the offer must be approved by a third party(the Lender). This may take a few weeks, or a few months. If you can afford to wait and wait, and be jerked around,an experience you may regret later, then read the blog here: click here

foreclosures

October 7th, 2007 9:03 AM

After sucessfully completing a bank foreclosure listing and sale, I made a new homebuyer very happy. They got a steal!! I am excited about the great deals in the market. The REO and foreclosures listings are for an experienced agent. I would not ask a newer agent to try to navigate the paperwork or the phone negotiations. An agent must be savy to get the task done cleanly and with no hitches. If you want to try to get a big deal on a great home, try it today! Give me a call and I will, for free, help you determine which route will be quicker, or easier.

Home statistics

October 6th, 2007 7:29 AM

Almost daily I am reading that the housing market is not going to recover for a year or two. BUT, I am seeing a flurry of buyer activity in this area in the last month. Buyers are thinking that their only choice is renting...are now rethinking this choice when prices as well as terms are so favorable. Its a buyer market, that means a buyer can buy a combination of furniture, upgrades, renovations, closing cost, and any combination of attractive incentives and get a home at the best price, too.
