There is a lot of reasons to buy, Low prices, Low interest rates, lots of choices. So why are you buyers not buying. Some say it's because all the media reports that say the market is still in the TANK. But this is the most affordable level in decades. Lots of people are not buying because they can nolonger consider this a good investment because they can not count on the home increasing in price faster than inflation.

sellers: Buyers are Very Picky in Todays Market - 01/26/11 05:19 AM
In the past market, the sellers could just throw their homes on the market and no matter what the condition, the buyers would buy it, worried that if they didnt get it they would never be able to afford a home again.
That market has changed.  Sellers know that homes are taking 90+ days to sell and they are taking their time shopping; so if they see the same model that has upgrades and it shines and is impressive, they will put an offer on that one and negotiate it down (never wanting to pay more than they have to)

sellers: Is Reverse Mortgage a Plus or a Negative - 06/18/10 08:32 AM
A reverse mortgage could be both. It really depends on the owner and there situation. If you are a single or a couple with no other source of income and no family to assist you, it could be a good thing.  You have a lot of equity in your home but you dont want to move. You might need a visiting nurse to someone to care for you and you want to stay in your home instead of going to a nursing home...You could draw on your equit as tax-free income without having to move, give up title or take on … (2 comments)

sellers: Is the Glass Half Empty or is it Half Full - 03/01/10 09:21 AM
I get so tired of hearing the "Ney Sayers" tell only about the bad news they hear instead of the good they hear. The Media is our best and our worst Allie. You hear about more homes in the Grey Inventory, the short term fixed loans coming due, more foreclosures on the horizon...all negative news but the truth is we are at or near bottom of the market.  The lenders are aware that dumping more homes on the market only decreases their assets. The good news is that sales are up over last year and despite the loss of a seller, … (1 comments)
