Trends in My World

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Integrity
We all have patterns in our lives. As a real estate broker, I am seeing some interesting patterns which point to an exciting opportunity. Those of you who are paying close attention most likely realize the unusual combination of affordable homes, low interest rates and lending options.

Some of my observations are about short sales. I am seeing a number of these go through successfully when the agent has done the work up front. You will be better off working with someone who knows how to work with banks, preferably someone with a Certified Distressed Property Designation (CDPE). Having an approved short sale price definitely is speeding things up for our clients.

People in the community ask some direct questions. I give answers every day. One concern I have heard often is "Are banks lending"? In case you were wondering too, the answer is YES.

Another thing that seems to interest people in the Linn County and Albany area is whether  or not more foreclosures are projected to be headed our way. Again, the answer is yes.

Albany Oregon invest now Leanna LangleHere is what I am dealing with. Investors though are in full force. Melinda and I are working with several, and they want to move their money into real estate. These clients see the window of opportunity for investment, they have thought it through, and they are going for it! So smart, I think to myself, as I say, "yes, I can help you."
