When is it time to buy?

In some cases the reason for buying a home can be summed up in four questions.

Do you have a reliable job with a steady income? 
Do you have a down payment?
Do you like apartment living?
Would you like more space?

The main reason people decide to buy a home is to have more space.  Almost all my searches for homes are set to view homes which are 1250 square feet and larger.  In my seven years in Real Estate I have only sold a hand full of 1000 square foot home, or smaller. 

People need more space for a number of reasons.  It may be a growing family.  The need to spread out, and feel comfortable in their own space.  It may be to get away from the noise and the hassle of sharing walls, floors, or ceilings with other people.  What owner of a new car likes sharing a parking lot with a number of other individuals? 

The greater the distance between you and your neighbors, the better the chance to find peace and quite.  When people need time to themselves, they need their space.  We all need a little time for ourselves.  This may be why finished basements are so popular in the area. 

Having the ability to search for homes, based on the square footage is an advantage.  Http://www.realtor.com/ is one of these sites that provides this choice.

I have the ability of setting up an automatic search and emailing the results directly to you, on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.  This is a great way to find the home you are looking for and save a ton of time in the process.  There are over 300 different details I can set in a custom search, such as fireplace, den, dining room, number of bedrooms, baths, finished basement, size, style, and price of the home. 

With interest rates and prices what they are in the last half of 2010, why wait? 

If you are thinking about selling in the future, a custom search can be set up for the style of home in your area.  You can receive monthly reports and track the market conditions that concern you most.
