Ask any REALTOR, and the answer is the same....
It's a great time to buy a home!
So, Why Buy Now?
· It's a buyer's market - motivated sellers are offering value-added incentives
· Homeownership is the first step toward building wealth
· Interest rates are still historically low
· Owning a home may qualify you for tax deductions
. Homebuyers have more housing choices than ever before
Use a Buyer Representative (CBR)
· A Certified Buyer Respresentative will offer industry expertise specific to your local market
· Select potential homes that match your wants and needs
· Keep you informed during the process
. Negotiate on your behalf
. A Certified Buyer Representative will offer industry expertise that is specific to your local area
Get Yourself Pre-approved
Pre-approval gives you the opportunity to increase bargaining and negotiating power by...
· Estimating your mortgage payment
· Setting a realistic price range you can afford
· Addressing possible qualification issues ahead of time
· Facilitate a faster transaction closing
Your decision to buy a home should be based on answers to the following questions...
· What kind of home do I want?
· What are the comparable homes selling for?
· What about the neighborhoods, schools, traffic, zoning, and work commutes?
· Does the home meet my price, location and needs?
Negotiate
Buyers have their share of homes to choose from in today's market. Negotiations among sellers and buyers (and their respective Buyer Representatives) have reached a new level of importance.
So forget about the negative press in recent months, realize that all real estate is local and what is happening in other areas in the United States does not necessarily reflect your local housing market. As a matter of fact, home buyers have more housing choices than ever before, and this market won't last forever!
