Well I’ve been showing a lot of houses in the last 2 weeks and one thing I have learned first hand is that incredible buys are back again! I have been working almost exclusively with 3 first time buyers this week and the price ranges they could afford would have been hopeless just a year ago.
The first buyer is looking for a home under $140k??? Are you kidding that’s a pipe dream… or at least it was in the past. Today we are finding nicely finished 750-800 sq.ft. homes with garages for this price.
The second buyer is looking in the $160k range and we are finding some great homes around 1000sq.ft. in great areas and with some very nice yards.
The third buyer is looking in the $175k range and we found a beautiful home with a truly park like yard on a quiet dead end road. This buyer was shocked to find a home this nice and she commented that she didn’t expect to find anything like this for her price range. In fact when we first started looking she was emphasizing that a card board box on land would be good enough for her to buy.
Well card board boxes may have been the expectation but it sure feels good to know that these buyers and other first time buyers out there can once again get into a very nice home and have a great place to live their lives and raise their families.
If you know a first time buyer please encourage them to get into this market!!! I don’t have a crystal ball to tell you exactly what the future holds but I can tell you from past experience that when prices move back up they won’t be looking at homes like I’ve had the pleasure of showing first time buyers this past week.
If you want to learn more about buying your first home or have a friend or family number that does than, give us a call right now, or email us right now, there are deals to be had today that haven’t been around for quite some time.
