Conditions in the real estate market generally favor either the buyer or the seller. The market is always changing, so it is important to have a REALTOR who diligently monitors the listings in your neighborhood or where you want to relocate.

REALTORS keep track of the number of days each home is on the market. A typical market is one in which it takes three to six months to sell a home. Whenever there is more than a six-month's inventory, there is a "glut" of homes on the market.
In a buyer's market, there are too many homes on the market for the number of buyers. Homes take longer to sell and prices fall. Sellers must work harder to sell their homes, often adding incentives such as owner financing, closing costs or decorating allowances. Buyers may also increase their demands.
In a seller's market, there are fewer homes for sale than there are buyers. Prices tend to rise and homes sell quickly with little or no bargaining. Sometimes homes sell in a matter of hours or days. Sellers often will get "top dollar" for their homes, which eliminates some buyes who cannot afford the higher costs. A particularly attractive home may receive several offers, some even higher than the list price. Buyers must be completely ready to buy when the inventory is low and competition is high.
Many factors can affect the real estate market.
If you are preparing to buy or sell a home, contact me to find out what the market conditions are and how we can plan a successfuly strategy for you!

If you are a potential first time buyer wishing you had taken the home buying plunge while rates were low, it is not too late to dive into the market. In fact, even with interest rates on the rise, waiting to purchase a home could end up costing you money. Here's why. Let's say you are interested in buying a house that costs $100,000, but you believe interest rates might fall if you waited one year to purchse. Would you really save by waiting? Probably not. If you were to purchase today, principal and interest payments on a $90,000 loan (after $10K down payment) would be $660.39 at 8%.In addition, with the mortgage interest tax rules currently in effect, you would save a tremendous amount of money as a tax break. This is much more profitable than handing money to your landlord every monthy.
For more information regarding homes and homes sales, please call me at 678-414-0760. I will look forward to assisting your home purchasing or selling needs.
