Sinking your teeth into Real Estate

Charlotte Has its teeth Back

Seems like yesterday, with all its frenzy, no one hesitated about sinking their teeth into real estate and stocks. Call it the last great American Land Grab...

So when the markets stumbled and tumbled, many were left feeling like they had their teeth kicked in.

We are finally at the point where it looks like the markets are stabilizing. The Charlotte market is looking better.

Minor ticks have some economists becoming optimistic. I'm an optimist, so I tend to agree. I have a problem listening to Dr. Doom repeat himself .

I'm not a dentist trying to give a history lesson or rehash the obvious. What I'm hinting is that this may be an excellent time to consider putting your teeth back in and sinking them into this real estate market .

 

And for first time buyers, this is an excellent time to try your choppers out on that home you were thinking about. With the triple whammy going on ... extremely low prices...historical low mortgage rates....and a bonus of $8,000 from Uncle Sam , you have little to risk and a lot to gain!

As a matter of fact, all indicators suggest that its a good time to put that smile back on your face and extend it to someone else.

Claude, the pic alone made this post a winner!  And for what's worth, we have SEVERAL up-ticks happening in our market - not just hiccups either.  It's time to start preparing for the near-term stabilization and return to an upswinging real estate market.

Great advice and a great way to play it up! First time home buyers do need to act fast though as the $8,000 tax credit end December 1st and with short sales that almost isn't enough time for it to close.
