Great Deal? You Might Want to Take It

The buyers market of the last several years has produced a unique demographic of home purchasers.

With such an extensive inventory, it has become increasingly hard for people to say "This is the one!" . Even if it is the perfect home, at the right price, in the right neighborhood, there is always that nagging feeling that you might be missing another one - out there, somewhere.

It's a valid thought. But here's the reality - the best deals are selling. They probably won't be sitting there waiting for you to come back to them. Many folks have expressed extreme dismay that after looking for a few more weeks, and determining that the home was in fact the perfect home (as they suspected), someone else agreed with them, and its off the market. Now the prospect of finding another home that good for you is daunting - the "one that got away" never leaves your mind.

In this market, there are some excellent deals. And if its a great house in a great location at a great price, someone will buy it. Why not you?

Realistic home prices and low interest rates have combined to create a situation where it is affordable for nearly every price range to purchase a home at a good price.

The article does point out a key point - those looking to make a quick buck should not consider this a green light. Home prices , while considered at bottom, are not expected to rise very quickly either. But for those looking for long term home ownership, this is the place!
