MarketWATCH Stockton
22 January 2016
We've been running into a lot of folks who are debating buying a home right NOW. We can almost bet that you're getting (unsolicited) advice from friends, family, co-workers... the mailman. It's all well-intentioned I'm sure, but are they aware of your real needs AND what's happening in the market?
We've come up with 3 questions that will help you figure out FOR YOURSELF if now is actually a good time for YOU to buy in today’s market. And we'll ask them of you, over the next 3 weeks.
The first is KEY.
1. Why am I buying a home in the first place?
This truly is the most important question to answer. Forget the finances for a minute. Why did you even begin to consider buying a home? A recent survey suggests that, for most, the reason has nothing to do with money. They are:
· A good place to raise children and for them to get a good education
· A place where you and your family feel safe
· More space for you and your family
· Control of that space
What does owning a home mean to you? What will you gain from owning a home? The answer to that question should be the biggest reason you decide to buy.
As you consider the question, let's take a look at what's happening in our local real estate market this week.
This week in Stockton, we saw 59 listings added, ranging in price from $150,000 - $1,695,000 and in size from 894 sf - 5,781 sf. In addition, there is 7 foreclosure owned properties and 2 short sales, this week.
