SPRING IS IN THE AIR
With temperatures in the 60's, the last couple days, Spring Fever has really hit me. Yesterday, I spent most of the day organizing my office. I can actually see my floor now. I'm not kidding. The owner of our company looked in my door and said " Gee, Dee you need a couple more garbage cans!" I told him, "It can be clean and organized when I'm not busy, but if it's a mess, be happy, it means I'm busy selling real estate!!!"
I really do love what I do. With the housing market and economy across the nation feeling a crunch, I am optimistic that things will be on an uphill trend this year. Our market here in Iowa City is really pretty good. The local lenders have plenty of money to lend and buyers are getting approved. In fact, I would say, we need more listings!! Not all my buyers are finding what they want! Price and condition, important!! The buyers have busy lives and do not want to have to move in and paint, change the carpets, and update. Unless they are strictly looking for fixer-uppers. For you homeowners who would really like to move to a bigger home or different neighborhood or move for whatever reason, the time is right! Your buying power will be great with the interest rates as low as they are and the supply of homes still on the market. Yes, you may get a little less for your home than in previous years but on the buying end, you'll be in great shape.
First-time buyers, what a great advantage you have for you now with the stimulus package! If you need more information on the guidelines, please call us today at 319-631-1979 or deermx@mchsi.com
All in all, spring is in the air and it's a great time to buy or sell a home!!!
