Seven Reasons To Love A Tough Market

Today’s housing market is challenging. That’s a given.
That’s given. It’s tough on buyers and sellers alike, who are anxious, not knowing where the real state market is going next.
They both want –and often need – a great deal whether they are buying and selling. Our current real estate market requires a special perspective no matter which side settlement table you are on.


Savvy buyers can readily find a lot to love in today’s market. Buyers feel the love from low interest rates and competitive prices to a huge selection of homes and incredible investment opportunities.
Look past the national headlines –which are gloomy at best and don’t apply at worst – to our local real estate market. Here is where buyers benefit the most when the going is tough. Unless, of course, you wait and miss out.

Smart Sellers, on the other hand, can benefit from a buyer’s market as well. Successful home sellers in today’s market know they must price their home correctly and be flexible. Providing a buyer with a great deal on their home opens the door for sellers to move on to their own next step- whether it’s moving up, downsizing or relocating. Smart sellers also know they may give up on price, they can make up- and then some-on their next home purchase. That’s another bright side of today’s real estate market.

Take a moment to learn the seven reasons why it’s a great time to buy a home. And, be sure to contact us when you are ready to make a move.

1. Loving Low Interest Rates
Historically low interest rates continue to allow home buyers to afford more home for their money. Lower interest rates reduce your monthly payment and increase your buying power. Locking in at a low, fixed-interest rate means your monthly loan payment will never change over the course of your loan.
2. Embracing Investment Property
Even if you are not in the market to buy a primary residence, you should take a look at the properties available for sale as investments. With ever-increasing numbers of families looking for rent, it’s and opportune time to invest in a rental property. Being a landlord can be a rewarding experience when you find the perfect property.
3. Attractive Home Prices
Home prices have never looked better! Many sellers are motivated to get their homes sold and are pricing accordingly. Don’t be afraid to make an offer on a home or to work with us to negotiate a great price on a great home.
4. Wondrous Selection of Homes
If your “needs and wants list” of home futures can’t be contained, now is the time to be looking at homes. The selection available in our area is outstanding. No matter what your budget, family size or life stage, we can help you find the home that fits.
5. Digging Distressed Properties
Others’ foreclosures, bank-owned and short-sale properties can be the key to your next home. Don’t overlook distressed properties, as you may uncover a hidden gem priced right so you can make upgrades and improvements without breaking your budget. Distressed doesn’t mean a steal, but it can often lead to a great deal.
6. Engaging You Financial Options
If your are tired of seeing your savings yo-yo in the volatile stock market, real estate is a great asset balancer. Consult your financial professional to make sure you have the savings to spare. When you are ready, we can help you find great investment property or a home to buy for all-cash if you desire.
7. Winning Over Motivated Sellers
Successful sellers keep the market going. Homeowners are eager to sell their homes to buyers who make realistic offers. It is crowded market for sellers, but the ones who are motivated will offer a great price and may throw in incentives ( e.g., helping with closing costs, etc.) or much-valued sweeteners –home warranty- that are as good as cash.
