Home Buying
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 all three of the above markets, we can't
stress enough that now is the time to buy!
Will the real estate market continue its decline? Maybe, but in most cases,
prices simply cannot decline further. A builder can't sell below his costs and stay in business for long and a
home seller can't afford to cut his price much below his mortgage payoff. Any home that's been on the
market for a reasonable amount of time has already slashed their price between 10 to 25 percent.
Two possibilities for further improvement in the real estate market
are a reduction in the Fed's cost of funds and the passage of the Florida Property Tax Reform bill.
If the Feds lower interest rates and the Florida property tax reform bill is passed by the general electorate
in the January 29, 2008 election then the good deals will look even better. But once they do,
the great deals will quickly dry up as savvy buyers look to take advantage of rock bottom prices, lower interest rates
and lower property taxes.
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!
