Spring is Here.........The Perfect Storm

....and all thoughts turn to buying that perfect home! That is right. Did you know that in times of trouble, there are always opportunities? While some sellers are taking it hard on the chin, this is the perfect time to buy that house that you have always dreamed about. With many more listings than there are buyers, the selection in the lower price ranges is outstanding.

If you have not owned a house in the last three years, you are eligible for an $8000 tax credit courtesy of the federal government. If you can't use all of that credit because you don't owe that much tax, you can get a check back for the difference. Wow!

If you own a house now and have decent equity, you can buy a house that better fits your needs. Whether it is larger or smaller, in a better neighborhood or closer to work or school, there is a wide selection at outstanding value. Priced and staged correctly, houses are selling in a timely fashion in most price ranges. An expert opinion by a seasoned real estate professional will give you the information you need to get the best price in this market.

Please don't wait too long. The $8000 is good only for those buyers who close on their house by December 1st of this year. The bargains on houses won't last forever, either!
