Hello 2009 - Selling your home during the holidays and 2009 outlook!

By
Real Estate Agent with Cypress GMAC Real Estate

2009, here we come!  December is almost here, Christmas is fast approaching and January 2009 is right around the corner...where did this year go!  Time sure does fly when your having fun!  I know sometimes trying to sell your home during the holidays doesn't seem like fun.  Keep up the faith, some homes do actually sell during this time of year and there have been offers that have come in on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or even New Year's Eve!  In the Tri-Cities, if you are in the market to buy a home, it's still a great time to do it.   If you listen to the mainstream media and press, you may have heard that lending has all but ceased.  Don't believe everything you hear.  Talk to your local lenders.  If you have good credit, money in the bank and fit their lending criteria, you can get into your new home today!

Deals, deals and more great deals.  There are a wealth of great buys on the market right now in the Tri-Cities.  If you have been looking, now is the perfect time to act.  2009 Outlook... So far there hasn't been a lot foreclosures in the Tri-Cities.  Contrary to popular belief, the foreclosures that are on the market aren't being sold for dirt cheap.  The banks are in the business of making and lending money and they do not want to sell their foreclosures at a dramatic loss.  If you are interested in buying one, you will need to have cash in the bank.  Some homes may also need need a little work.  The Tri-Cities is still a great place to buy or sell your home.
