Have You Noticed?
All the great news about Real Estate in the news lately. February showed nationally that new home sales were up 4.7% from January! They tempered it well by saying January was a 40% drop off from January 2008, but improvement is Movement!
And that is what the market has shown over the course of the last 60 days, Movement! People have been scurrying about trying to take advantage of great low interest rates and the $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers (those who have not owned a home in 3 years!)
This has come at a great time for our local market. The question is, are YOU taking advantage?
1. As Agents: are you marketing to your best advantage these great times for people to buy? Have you let everyone know that you are prepared to help them find a great home at a great price (this still is a buyers market) and have you let sellers know you have what it takes to get their house moved!
2. As Sellers: are you taking advantage of this surge in buyers by being aggressive in your pricing on your home in order to bring the buyers to your doors? In a market that has too many foreclosures to mention, it is imperative you make your house as attractive to buyers as possible, and bottom line, that means $$$’s!
3. As Buyers: with interest rates available in the mid 4-5%, a tax credit of $8,000, and houses at their lowest prices in years, what could you possibly be waiting for? Now is the perfect time to flex your buying power and find a home at a great price while taking advantage of all the market has to offer!
If you haven’t noticed these amazing opportunities and taken advantage, NOW IS THE TIME!
