Well.... This is my FIRST BLOG and I am going to enjoy it!!
It has been a very busy week and I find myself with a long list of things that I need to do but this was on my list and here I go!! The Real Estate market in Montgomery is tough right now but The Helping You Move Team has been very busy. We have a lot of listings that are good buys. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY!! I know many years ago my parents had an opportunity to buy beachfront lots in Gulf Shores, AL for $5,000 a lot!! Now I know you are thinking.. yeah right Cheryl... No, I am not kidding! I am not that old but I remember those days when Gulf Shores only had The "Holiday Inn" and The "Rolling Tide" hotels. It was then called "The Redneck Riviera". Not much to do but play tennis, enjoy the beach and play games at the "Hangout". My parents passed on that opportunity and have said many times in the past 35 years... "We should have bought those lots."
Don't let that happen to you. CARPE DIEM ("Seize the day!) Interest rates are excellent with mortgage companies providing additional incentives. The inventory of homes is very abundant now more than ever. It is a Buyer's Market and sellers are preparing their homes to sell by staging, having preinspections and pricing correctly because the market is so competitive. Don't look back next year or several years from now kicking yourself saying... "We had an opportunity to buy in a Buyer's Market but waited- WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
Oh, By the Way, my parents did take advantage in later years of the market conditions and purchased a 3 bedroom, 2 bath condo (5th floor) on the water at an auction.(1980's) They made an excellent decision and are still enjoying it!
Take Care- Make the most of each day and as my friend, Andy Andrews states in his best-selling book "The Traveler's Gift" Be a person of Action!
My next blog will have some info. regarding Foreclosures in Montgomery, AL
Thanks,
