Did an absorption rate for my clients yesterday and learned that in the 150 thousand to 200 thousand dollar range, there is a seven months supply of houses. Man.......that means it will take seven months to clear out the current inventory IF no other houses come on the market.
Well.....guess that means that the buyers should come off the fence and get going as interest rates have ticked upwards a bit since two to three weeks ago.
Buyers ask me, will I lose money? My answer...no, honey!! Buy now and live in your house for more than three years. You will see the equity increase over time. It always does!
For those of you with money burning a hole in your pocket.......get investing. You buy when it is low and sell when it is high! Guess what!!!? It is time to buy.
Have to sell??? Get a good and ethical broker to help. Get someone with loads of experience. (Like me! Mike and I did 36 deals last year) Do NOT entrust your house to an agent who is part time or dabbling. This market is NOT for the faint hearted.
There is only today! Go and make the most of it.
