realestateguy madison wi keller williams realty: Real Estate Market screeches "Now is THE Time TO buy a Home" - 10/20/10 05:37 PM
I will be totally open in my analysis that the home selling market has really fallen flat on its face in Madison Wisconsin.   We are not experiencing our usual October rally.     Despite some amazing buying opportunities and rock bottom interest rates.  What is going on?
Answer:-
Uncertainty!   The elections will occur Nov 2nd, to decide if we continue to make slow progress towards recovers, or we put the brakes on the recovery with a congress that has virtually vowed to see America fail by ensuring the president policies fail.  Not very good outcomes either way! 
We had a generous incentive to purchase a home that ended … (4 comments)

realestateguy madison wi keller williams realty: The Best Time to Buy a home is now!! - 10/07/10 02:03 PM

 
Really, we have been saying this for a while, that now is the time to buy a home  and yet another argument to buy now but the truth is, it just keeps getting better.   Wow!  Look at the facts:
·        We believe interest rates are at such a low level that we will never again see rates this low. 
·        Inventory levels of homes for sale in the Madison area are good.
·        And Seller sentiment is low, so they are willing to give more away than they would otherwise.  

All this means an amazing chance of … (5 comments)

If you are like many first time home buyers, you are looking at a huge step.   A huge decision.  You were likely ready 6months or a year ago, but you procrastinated.   Why because you don’t know how to do the home buying thing!!  Probably you are not sure what the procedure is. 
We understand.  So it is likely easier to stay renting.  (Probably the reason you missed out on the Tax Credit)
We at the RealEstateGuy team understand … (2 comments)

Buying a home in Madison Wi has never been more affordable.  (not for 30 years anyway) A combination of conditions, we likely all know too well has combined to create perfect buying climate for anyone who is in the market to buy right now.  (Stats thanks to KCMBlog.com)  Low low interest rates, high inventory, lower prices have all combined and are all taken into consideration, along with going wages to make up this index.  As you can see from the chart, the index has dropped to historic lows.   And this may not last that long.  If interest rates go up, … (3 comments)

realestateguy madison wi keller williams realty: For Home Buyers: The gift that keeps giving! - 08/31/10 04:56 PM
 
 
For over 2 years, I have written about the value of buying in this economy, suggesting now is the best time to buy.   It still is!!  Thanks to a long term record low interest rate, lower demand and higher level of inventory.  The economy still isn’t putting on the jobs and confidence is still holding buyers back.
It may sound strange, but confidence is a major cause of a bad market.  Funny because, confidence is a mindset and has no relationship to physical being,  so why do I say this? 
If a person does not feel safe/secure … (3 comments)

Having just returned from England I was not aware that the sky had fallen and we were about to enter a nose dive!! Looking at my recent schedule and inquiries I am thinking something doesn't jive.   
The news sounds terrible, (such as national news tries to be), dramatic painting the worst scenario.  Let's look at the stats closer.   
It doesn't take a genius to realize that is you give a bunch of people $8000 for buying a home before May, then you are going to sell a bunch of homes.  You will even take some of the people … (4 comments)
