The market continues to adjust to our changing economy. There are many factors to consider that provide unique opportunities for homebuyers and investors. If you are looking to take advantage of the buying opportunities, there is no time like the present. 

Here are 5 Reasons why Now is a great time to Buy Real Estate in Goodyear.

Lower Interest Rates

Interest rates still remain at near-record lows, especially compared to the 1980's rates and rates during of the real estate boom.  Lower rates simply mean lower mortgage payments for those who buy in today's market. Lenders want to earn your business.  Of course, lending standards are tighter now than they were a few years ago, but that means that lenders today are even more eager to work with buyers with good credit. So, lock in your low rate today!  For existing owners, you can move up to a bigger and better home with little or no change in your monthly payment.

Competitive Home Prices

Today's market shows a high level of inventory and many homebuilders as well as Banks are facing a surplus of inventory homes. Take Goodyear for instance, today there are over 250 Affordable Real Estate listings and over 400 Nearly New Homes for sale. During the boom, in many areas, prices reach levels that the average buyer was unable or unwilling to pay, and home values began to drop. As everyone adjusts to the current market conditions and builders compete for remaining buyers, these prices are returning to normal levels. 

Increasing Rent

Renters are faced with the realization of more competition as more people move out of their homes and more potential homebuyers decide to wait. As the overhead costs of utilities, daily maintenance and repairs continue to cut into the profits, property owners, rental agencies and apartment complexes must increase their rent rates to stay afloat.

 

Increasing Down-Payment Requirements

On January 1st, 2009, the minimum down payment will probably jump from 3% to 3.5%. A half of a percentage point may not seem like much, but on a $200,000.00 dollar home, this change can cost an average of $1,000 more to the down payment on a new home.

 

Great Home Selection

Today, many communities are filled with spec homes, models and a wide range of homes, offering new home buyers a great opportunity to find the perfect home. As a result of the market growth and decline, there is an incredible selection of homes available. New developments continue to come to the area and as homes continue to come available in these growth areas. Spectacular designs, innovative floor plans, breath taking features help many builders differentiate themselves from the market. There is home for even the pickiest of buyers.

Hello Everyone,

I am seeking a little advice.

My goal for the next coming month is to be able to eliminate my current phone lines and use my (DSL) internet to send faxes, receive faxes and make local and long distances calls. I am searching for a tool or tools to help me accomplish this. 

I still consider myself a novice when it comes to computers and internet, especially with the constant changes every 5 minutes. That might be a slight exaggeration, but it sure feels that way to me. (lol) If you have any suggestions or using programs that are "user friendly" I would really appreciate hearing them.

Thank you for taking time to share your ideas!

I came across these sites today and thought they would be helpful for those who want free tracking. I am still in the process of going through everything to see how they work, but it's free. Also, Since Craigs list is gaining momentum, you have nothing to loose, (except a few minutes of time).

For Web Tracking, this is an interesting free site.

Good Luck and I hope it works out for you all.
