Shew, This weekend has been busy, busy, busy. From Friday evening on, non-stop buyer calls on listings and several scheduled showings. Open Houses, Offers etc.
Which reminds me of a quick story I wanted to share with you: I worked an open house today. One of the potential buyers found a small garden snake in the back yard.. he picked it up and of course, I shreak. I would not let him back in for a second look at the house until he put the snake back... he finally obliged. The only living creature on God's green earth that I loathe is the snake.. Am I the only one? Even this buyers wife laughed at me for being foolishly scared of the little guy... I digress..
Lots of activity. Home Buyers are realizing that they really should buy before next year. Interest rates are creeping up.
So now we have a race to the finish line of 2008. Several well priced homes are receiving multiple offers. In some of our cities and towns like Easton inventory didn't increase this month... it shrunk!
Bank owned properties seem to be selling quicker in the Taunton Area.The banks that own these homes have become motivated sellers. Buyers for these homes are usually real estate investors looking to fix and flip to another buyer for a profit.
Some areas of Massachusetts especially in the 495 belt are even seeing some signs of stabilization.
Wouldn't you agree that it's time to get off the fence, get in the race and get serious about your home buying and selling goals?

First time buyers are starting to see that money can buy homes. Yes most will need to have 3% down but can get that as a gift. A few can do VA loans or USDA but both are hard fits via towns or VA status. The reality is most first time buyers out there have or can get a gift for 3% that allows for many conventional loans and if not FHA loans
