Good Morning!
It is Easter in Celebration, FL., the birds are chirping, its sunny and warm and beautiful outside. (Well, it is beautiful most of the time here – but Easter makes it even nicer!)
People are out looking at the homes for sale here in Celebration and the surrounding Central Florida area… and there is no better time of the year and no better time in our economy than right now to be searching for a home for sale. The down turn in our economy has created the perfect storm here in Florida. It has reduced values to the point that you can own a larger home and pay even less. With interest rates at a 50 plus year low the monthly payment on your home is going to be even more affordable.
OK… I am stating the obvious but let’s look at a few things that are holding some people back when it comes to searching Florida Homes For Sale
The problem that I see in a time like this not only here in Celebration and the surrounding Central Florida area but across the U.S. is that during this uncertain economic time people act out of fear and confusion. If everyone took the time to think it through, they would see the following points… not only here in Florida but any location.
Here are the points…
- Homes are down in value while the cost of materials to build a home here in Florida have stayed constant or risen.
Thinking logically… It is a good time to buy a home because the cost to build the same home would be more even if it is only a couple years old!
-Interest rates are at a 50 plus year low!
Thinking logically… if you were to buy a Celebration, Fl. home that is for sale today the payment would be lower than any other time in the last 13 years
-The U.S. WILL start experiencing inflation due to all of the money that we are printing to pay for the Trillion Dollar stimulus and the massive budget that was just passed.
Thinking logically… you want to lock in a fixed interest rate immediately on the home you buy here in Central Florida because when the inflation starts to inch up it will drive up the cost to build homes and in turn increase the value of all homes. During the increase in inflation it will most likely cause an increase in interest rates.
If you consider the three points above, take the emotion of the fear and confusion out of it and think logically. This is the best time to buy a home, not only in Celebration and the surrounding Central Florida area, but anywhere in the U.S. and probably Canada.
This certainly is the perfect storm… if you are in the business of helping people purchase a home then take these three points to them in a logical manner… take the confusion and emotion out of it (It’s hard to do, because every time you turn on the news, that is all you here… the sky is falling) and lay out why, if they are going to want to move up to another home in the next 15 years, now is the time buy that home.
Happy Easter!
