I am exhausted, happy, busy, but exhausted. I and my team are making ourselves available to first time home buyers whenever possible. They are looking high and low for a home...not necessarily the "right" home, but any home that will accept their offer. That's no way to choose a home.
A home is a place where you can find peace and tranquility, where you can escape from the outside world and relax. A home is a place where you will feel unconditionally loved and welcomed. It might have a garden, or a balcony, or a loft. It might be made of brick or stucco or wood. It could be small or large...but what it's not is "something that will do." It is a feeling which a building or space compliments perfectly.
I'm sad when I see the disappointment of young buyers who are trying to find their home and they are outbid by cash investors. I almost wish that there would be a moratorium on investors until after the tax credit expires...but that's not the way life works....and perhaps I don't really mean it.
What I try to remind my buyers is that the tax credit is nice...but not the only, nor even the most important, aspect of buying a first time home. The most important thing is that it fits them....that it provides them the comfort, security and stability they desire. Find that....and the tax credit won't matter.
