Do you hear that? I think it is opportunity knocking!

Managing Real Estate Broker with Flexit Realty "Flexible Home Selling Solutions"

How many times do people have to be hear information before they actually listen?  There is all kinds of data on our inability to retain information...within 24 hours we only remember 30% of what we heard yesterday!  My wife swears I have selective memory...but the truth is....I am just normal.

Well listen up.  There is nothing normal about this housing market.  Better yet it really has never been a better time to buy a home in the last 5 years!

Here are just a few of the reasons:

  • More inventory...yes you see all those home for sale?  Well that mean selection...that mean you will most likely find exactly what you might have built!
  • Better Pricing, people understand than when they have competition they have to have competitive pricing to attract buyers...so you can find the right home at the right price.
  • Because of the selection and competitive pricing you may be able to buy a larger or newer home than you could have 5 years ago!!!! Bonus buyers win again.
  • Financing....many lenders are being more careful because they have too....but your good credit can snag a loan for under 6% any day of the week on a 30 year fixed rate.  That too is fabulous.  The righ home, the right price and the financing.
  • Moving...because fewer people are moving right now the moving companies have sharpened their pencils too....offering better rates...another Win.

So are you listening?  Sit for 15 minutes with a career professional and find out what is available in your market.  It may find the home you thought you couldn't afford is very affordable.

If you are in the West Michigan market give me a call.....I will bring my computer to your Kitchen table and we can look through some of the great opportunities together.  If you live in another area drop me an email...I will send you a name of a Professional in your area.

If you are paying rent...you should think about being a home owner...you increase your wealth with every payment, your investment will give you a retirement program and best of all you get to enjoy your investment everyday.

I hope you were listening...you can come back and read it again tomorrow....I told my wife that make my retention 60% the next day!  I don't think she believed me....

I hope you did...don't let this opportunity of home ownership slip away.  The market is perfect to help you realize the real estate investment of your lifetime.

Absolutely Gary!  I talked with two individuals today who confirmed some Additional programs which give FREE money to Michigan buyers. I'm talking in the tens of thousands.  I was shocked.  People just do NOT know what the opportunities are and the media seems to be doing its best to keep it that way.  That's where people/bloggers like you and I come in. :)
