Serious uncertainty has plagued our country of late. Every real estate agent I know is feeling the effects of the economic calamities that fill the airways of today's news.
These days, I am CONSTANTLY being asked, "Wow, how's the real estate market? You must be really struggling.". Considering I am coming off the best year of my career, despite the overall market conditions, I respond appropriately - "You know what? No matter what's happening with the market as a whole, SOMEONE always needs to buy or sell. And I consider it my job and my responsibility to put myself in front of opportunity where people need my help".
If you are looking to buy, IT'S AN UNBELIEVABLE TIME TO BUY!!!
Here are 5 important reasons why:
1. GREAT SELECTION OF PROPERTIES- No matter what price range your are in, the large supply of homes at great prices means more choices than ever. Search all MLS listings here.
2. FEWER BIDDING WARS - More properties on the market and fewer investors means you don't have to compete in the real estate "feeding frenzy" that buyers endured in recent years.
3. MOTIVATED SELLERS - Sellers eager to sell are offering more incentive and/or more flexibility. It's much easier to get the seller to pay closing costs, offer concessions, or take care of repairs.
4. DUE DILIGENCE IS ACCEPTABLE - Now that the market is moving at a less frenzied pace, buyers have more time to take care of home inspections and appraisal.
5. MORE SUPPORT THAN EVER FROM YOUR REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL - In complicated markets like the one we're in, having a real estate professional on your side that has up-to-date information is more important than ever. Only good agents will survive this market, and those of us that intend to survive, are devoting all of our energy in clients that need our help.
