It is a Great Time to Buy a Home!

Paul Walker (Realty Executives of Metro East) — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:08:50 -0600

Why you should not wait to purchase your new home!

If you are trying to time the real estate market, you may miss out on the best opportunity to purchase your new home! There are great opportunities in the real estate market, especially in the new construction industry. Builders are offering tremendous discounts, incentives, options, and prices on their existing inventory. There are many great home buying opportunities available in the Scott AFB - O'Fallon real estate market

You see, people who already have a home usually need to sell it in order to come up with the down payment for their next home. Even if they don't, they would have to carry the debt and obligations on two homes at the same time. This can create financial hardship, even when you rent out the previous home. There are maintenance costs, renters don't always make their payments on time, the rent may not cover the mortgage and other costs, and sometimes the property may be vacant.

So if you are a move-up buyer and want to purchase your next home during a depressed market, you generally have to sell your current home during that same depressed market. If you want to sell during a boom, then you also have to purchase during the same boom. You are really trading apples for apples and it tends to equal out, and what is better is if you are looking for a bigger and newer home you should be able to save on the purhcase of that home, way more than you will lose on the sale of your smaller existing home.

On the flip side however, if you are wanting to "downsize" from a larger home to a smaller condo or home, you will take the larger "loss" on the sale of your home vs. what you might be able to save on the purchase side, depending on what you are looking to purchase. Many sellers are trying to get away from the higher real estate taxes on the large home that they already are living in, but be careful, because you will find many smaller, less expensive and older homes will have high real estate tax bills too!

Finally, suppose you are a first-time buyer and are thinking if you continue to wait that home prices will become even lower! If you guess wrong, are you going to wait...and wait...and wait...till the next depressed market? If so, you could miss out on loads of savings! You see interest rates on mortages right now are near all time lows, home prices are very flexible and are there are some great buys in the market right now! So are you going to wait until mortgage rates go back up or until home prices begin to climb? You see you will never make money in real estate until you first buy a home.

Consider this...you need to live somewhere right, you also have tax advantages to owning a home, there is a leverage that you receive by using "other peoples money, ie...the bank or mortgage company" to purchase a home, you begin to enjoy home equity, enjoy the American Dream of home ownership. If you continue to rent, you will be contributing to the wealth of your landlord.

...and if you wait assuming you will guess right about your market timing. Well, in 1996, when the home market was struggling, who would have predicted what the next seven years would bring? You see home prices will go back up, everything has a cycle---right now the real estate market is down, but it really only has one way to go and that is back up. There is and always will be a demand and need for housing. Also, consider this...our prices in the Metro East area of Illinois are bargain prices considering most areas of the country, and our home prices already represent a wonderful value.

If you are considering buying your first home, condo, new construction home, or if you are considering moving up to a larger and more comfortable home (it is cheaper than trying to add on, especially if you "overbuild" for your neighborhood) then please feel free to contact us. You will be glad that you did!

Introducing myself

Paul Walker (Realty Executives of Metro East) — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 19:42:58 -0500

Hello!

I'm Paul Walker and I've been a full time agent since 1997 in the Scott Air Force Base, Illinois area.

I've been trying to learn new ways to promote myself, and my listings.

I've have formed a team with two other long time agents in my office this year. I've been in the real estate business for 10 years with no assistant, so I trying to remove some of the burden this business can place on you when your working the long hours and trying to get everything done yourself.

The team concept so far has been working out real well, however, I'm still working the 10 hour+ days. At least it is easier to get away for a short vacation etc.

I'm glad to be part of this blog group!

Many Thanks,

Paul

From the the numbers above we see that a total of 107 homes sold in O'Fallon Illinois priced between $225,000 and $265,000. With 107 homes sold in the last 12 months in that price range that averages to 8.916 homes per month. Since there are 74 current listings in that price range (not including FSBO and new construction by builder) that is a 8.299 month supply of homes in that price range. (74 homes divided by 8.916 homes per month equals 8.29 month supply)

So what can we conclude from these numbers. Well, we know that buyers can and are being very selective about which home to purchase, so if you are a seller in today's buyers market you need your home to stand out. It has to be "market ready" in it's appearance. You live in your home one way, but you have to market your home a different way. It has to show like a model display home as much as possible. It also, has to be priced to the "front of the line". You can't price it too high and expect offers to come in. You know just because your home is listed doesn't mean that it will sell. Not if it is overpriced! Buyers are only willing to pay todays market price. Your home may not sell for as much today, as it would have last year. You also have to price it with the idea in mind of "How soon do I need to be where I'm moving and have this home sold by then". You see there can be a 30 day quick sale price, a 90 day price or a 8 month price, but if you have an 8 month price on your home and you need it sold and closed in 60 or 90 days, well guess what? You need to be realistic in choosing your list price.

Local Area Home Sales are Down

Paul Walker (Realty Executives of Metro East) — Fri, 06 Oct 2006 16:00:14 -0500

Local home sales numbers are down throughout most of the St. Louis Metro-East and for the first time in many years, prices are starting to fall.

Here are the statitics for St. Clair County, Madison County and Monroe County Illinois for the last 3 years for home sales

County 2006 2005 2004

St. Clair 933(+5.6%) 833 (-6.2%) 942

Madison 1022(-3.8%) 1063 (11.1%) 1197

Monroe 105(-3.7%) 109 (-5.2%) 115

Second quarter figures recorded ove the past three years indicate a decline in each metro-east county since 2004. Madison County home sales are down by almost 15% and Monroe County sales have dropped by almost 9%. St. Clair County has witnessed an increase of 5.6% since last year after a 6.2% decrease between 2004 and 2005.

Analysts say year-over-year price decreases are a more serious sign of a slumping housing market and have contributed to a record inventory of home. Most recently in St. Clair county the medium home price has dropped from $138,250 in August 2005 to $129,900 in August 2006, which represents a 6% decrease in home prices.

If you are looking to buy, now may be a good time to enter the market. Mortgage rates have been declining over the last several months but show signals that they may be increasing again in the near future. It is a definite buyers market with a lot of inventory to choose from.
