The Sky Is Not Falling

Everyday whether the news comes from the local paper or other media, our local Real Estate market is still alive. It is not doom & gloom! It is a state of mind if you keep hearing the negative reports, you tend to believe in it. In the media "Blood Sells". Our local market is healthy, it is a fabulous time to purchase the home of your dreams. Buyers have choices in this market. They are not pressured to make an instant decision and again having a variety of homes to choose from. No one can predict the future, however we all need shelter. Let's look at the facts. We have the lowest interest rates in years, ample housing stock both in new and resale homes. Builders are giving incentives as well as some sellers. You do not have the competition from other buyers for the same home as a few years ago. Real Estate goes in cycles, in the long run it is still the best investment. It is tangible, equity build-up, tax benefits and it is yours. It is true the lending institutions had to adjust their lending practices. But the end result is their is plenty of money to loan.
