Seven shopping days until Christmas -- The stampede is in full force

By
Industry Observer

We are way past the part of the season when we complain that the retailers are rushing us.  The complaints about Christmas promotions coming too early are mostly forgotten.  It's just about panic mode.  The good stuff is gone and the sales we were waiting for have not materialized.   A month or so ago was a great time to shop, but we waited.  Now, the most sought after gift items are hard to find and overpriced.  There is plenty of less desirable stuff, but it's no bargain either.

OK, enough about real estate.  It's not March yet, and we still have a chance to shop early.  If you want to settle for something that's not exactly what you want, or if you want to pay too much for your dream home, just wait.  Wait like you did to start your Christmas shopping.  Wait until spring, and then wait in line to submit your highest and best offer on a home that everyone is lining up to buy.

If you actually want to find the best Apple Valley property at the best price, now is the time to get serious and begin house hunting.  Call me to reserve a time for a no obligation (honest) home buying orientation and strategy session.  It takes about an hour, and now is the time to take some action.   It will save you a bundle!

Now is the best time of the year to purchase a home in my opinion.

Now is the best time to buy an i-Pad, diamond earrings, and a sweater for Dad-in-Law.  

OH wait...  I missed the point.  Looks like I am not the only one with that thought.  

OK, let me change my opinion.  

Now is a GREAT time to buy a home!!!  Your competition is buying i-Pads, earrings, and sweaters.  :)
