Are you a Santa or a Grinch?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with PMI. Destin

My back ground has always been in the sciences, I love my business but grew up with "if, then " conversations and I grew up at the beach, which has always been my first love. 

If any of the following statements strike a cord, then continue reading.  

If you have been considering a move, and I describe a move as being, have you considered either buying, selling, upgrading your current home or apartment

If you are currently renting 

If you consider that a poor decision

If you would like to expand your investment portfolio into Real Estate

If you love the beach and have been considering purchasing a beach area property

Then... 

Your first step should be towards getting more information about your different options and I would love to help

There is no such thing as a better time to buy or sell property.  The right property for you and your plans exist in a buyers market or a sellers market, in an up and/or a down market.  The real estate market is not like shopping at Walmart.  There is not a unlimited inventory of homes on the market.  The perfect home might not be available when you finally decide to make a decision.  Industry wide, it takes about about 18 months from the time that a buyer makes a decision to make a move.  This is the first step that I mentioned in the previous paragraph.  

The real estate market does have its normal ups and downs.  The time of this interval does vary and you can not predict it.  The real estate market is part of the bigger business market in the United States which we have found is connected to the worlds economy.  

Business fundamentals are very strong in the United States at the time of this writing.  Interest rates are at a historical low.  The job market is very strong.  It is a very good time to explore different options concerning real estate.  

You purchase a home or a property for a variety of reasons.  

1.  For personal use, to house you and your family. 

2.  For personal use, for recreational use.  

3.  For investment reasons, it is a strong part of an investment portfolio.  

A property will typically appreciate during the period of time that you own it.  This statement does  assume that the owner does periodic maintenance and upgrades to the property.  The average appreciation in the United States over the last year has been around 4 %.  This is a very strong number and is another indicator that the market is very strong.  Over my career in Real Estate I have seen this number go into double digets.  I would be a little concerned if that were the case in todays market, and it is not.  The echoes of "it is a hot market" are very strong in my ears from agents who have just gotten their real estate licenses.  I would suggest that you ask them why they believe it is a hot market and what that really means to them and you.  Experience does matter.  Real Estate is one of the biggest investments you might make and you need to get proper experience and information before you make a decisision.
