The Ultimate Buyer's Market!

Take Advantage of The Real Estate Slump! There are many reasons to be down on the real estate market and your local media will be happy to tell you all of them in vivid detail each and every day. However, a down market represents a limited-time opportunity for the savvy home buyer to take advantage of the unbelievable, too-good-to-be-true, real estate deals-of-a-life-time, and there's more of them out there than you might think ... new home sales, short sales and motivated sellers to name a few opportunities.

Our Measurements of Great Buying Opportunities!

  • Builders New Homes: Builders have repeatedly reduced their prices and offering incredible incentives such as free upgrade packages, reduced rate mortgages and pre-paid closing costs to mention a few. For anyone thinking of a new home purchase, NOW is an excellent time to buy.

  • Newer Resale Homes: A newer resale home is a good buy if you're paying less for the property than it would cost to rebuild it. With prime suburban land selling at about $250,000 an acre and construction costs for modest structures above $100/sq.ft, it's easy to determine if a newer resale property is a good buy.

  • Older Resale Homes: An older home is a good buy if the asking price plus rehabilitation costs is less than the established market value. This measure simply states if the cost to fully rehabilitate an older home to new-home standards plus the asking price is less than the established market value a year or two ago, you're getting a great deal.

These measures highlight some very interesting facts for those of us who watch the market and that is there are more great deals on the market today than there have been in the last 5 years! With the proliferation of great deals in this real estate market, we can't stress enough that now is the time to buy!

Will the real estate market continue its price decline into 2010? Well, maybe -- but the industry experts who follow market trends closely, have mixed reports. When the market rebounds, some buyers who have been sitting on the fence and waiting to see when market prices will hit rock bottom may miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of the great real estate deals available on the market today!

If you have no confidence in the real estate market right now that's understandable because you've been battered by months of bad news. But don't let that cause you to miss out on what is otherwise a golden opportunity to buy a great deal in real estate. The market is full of real estate bargains right now. Take advantage of them!
