So according to the majority of News Channels life is over as we know it! The economy is going south, inflation is at its worst in 17 years (http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080116/economy.html?.v=8) and the Real Estate Bubble has finally started to deflate. The only people that should be buying houses right now need to be playing for the Patriots!
I hear this negativity daily throughout my adventures on the net, watching the news and reading all the magazines that fill my mail box and can't help but wonder what would happen if someone reported it in a different view. OK, so some markets are a little softer than here in Charlotte, NC but at the same time the clients that I am working with still have a home to sell elsewhere and people are buying there. So is the market really that bad? If it was wouldn't they just rent until the upswing? From the neighborhoods that I like to watch houses are still moving, investors are still buying (above asking price) so again is the market really that bad?
I feel that if your in the market to buy a home and plan on living in it for the average 5-7 years this is a perfect time to purchase. Charlotte is still plugging along the phone is still going crazy and business seems to be in at a steady humm. Maybe the news will find another story besides the Real Estate gloom and Britney and we can move on and enjoy our homes.
So I'm going to take this call and hopefully find a house my clients can call home!
