1. Location, location, location. In the past, Myrtle Beach buyers had to choose between price vs. location. Today, there is inventory available in every area, in every price range. You can get exactly what you want, where you want it.
2. Selection, selection, selection. There are just over 5,700 resale homes on the market right now, so there are plenty of houses from which to choose. There are lots of options in this market.
3. Make an offer - please! A few years ago when you made an offer, the real question was, how high did you have to be in order to be the best offer on the table. Today the listing price vs. sales price equation is about 96%. And sellers aren't insulted if you 'make them an offer they can't refuse'.
4. Repair requests are expected. After a buyer completes a home inspection, they are allowed to submit a repair request to the seller. In the past a seller might insist the home was sold 'as is', since there may have been back-up buyers waiting. Today, this list has become a negotiating tool.
5. Real financing is still available to qualified buyers. The zero down, no doc, adjustable, sub-prime loans are gone. Fixed rates are back. FHA financing, first time homeowner bond programs, special loans for teachers, police officers and other public servants are back. It's a great time to buy real estate!
