Missing in Action - Buyers!

By
Real Estate Agent with Wine Trail Properties

Are all the buyers on vacation? Did the buyers all move to Antigua?   With it being a buyers market, there sure seems to be a shortage of them.  Market conditions are showing that high end and resort buyers are out there, but the buyers of traditional family homes are lying in wait.

Here are some reasons why there should be a plenitude of buyers for traditional homes

  • Currently interest rates are still low
  • Prices on homes have fallen between 15 an 20 percent, some areas a little more or less
  • Buyers have more tools and resources to work with
  • Mortgage lenders are still issuing loans
  • Real estate is still an equity builder

Some reasons buyers are still sitting on the fence:

  • They are waiting for prices to fall further
  • Some are waiting for the perfect foreclosure to come their way
  • Too much inventory, making it difficult to make a decision
  • Afraid they will not qualify under stricter standards
  • Selling their current home will not bring them the market value they expect
