There is some confusion that the recent sub-prime meltdown and credit crisis somehow affects all of today's buyers and it does not. Qualified Buyers should feel emboldened right now. Key industry experts concur the forecast ahead will be better than 2007 and the first the first part of 2008.
"As a buyer it's good to be ahead of this curve while the power s still so much on your side," commented Elaine Mallon, Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker and frequent expert contributor to The Daily Breeze and The Peninsula News Home Guides.
"Those with good FICO scores, who have documentation and down-payment monies to buy are in a position of trememdous strength. The key is to come in pre-qualified if not pre-approved when you get started with a successful Buyers Agent on your side," Elaine continues.
"No one can predict where the market will go. The smartest thing we can do is look to today's histotric low interest rates, a high selection of available homes for sale -- where deal are plentiful and sellers are ready to deal! When all market and economic indicators point to 'buy' and favor the buyer -- BUY while the opportunity is in front of you."
"For those pre-qualified buyers looking to purchase in the best Buyer's Market in years -- who are in it for the long trm -- these are the fortunate who nearly always come out ahead in building financial security and wealth," added Elaine. "Remember, a time of crisis historically turns out to be a time of opportunity."
"The key is to watch the market signs, be able to indentify the best deals, and stay ahead of the curve. You ready Buyers out there, this time is yours!", concludes Elaine.
