Everyone asks "how's the real estate market" This is what I say
In my experience as a Realtor, the buyer's market is Hot, Hot and even Hotter! If you could see how many homes are being purchased, you would be absolutely amazed. I say that because the people I talk to are still scared to death to jump in.
Think about this fact. Real Estate has led the economy into and out of its past two recessions. It led the economy into this one and is very likely to lead the economy back to health. In fact, as I write this on April 16, 2009, it looks very much like that is happening in many markets.
There has not been a better time for first time Buyers to buy, in decades, especially with the new $8,000 tax credit that doesn't have to be paid back. The same is true for homeowners moving up from healthier, modest price ranges to softer higher priced homes in the same metropolitan areas. Investors, who have financing, are finding incredible opportunities that are not often seen.
Sell your home for less, but buy a better, larger, smaller, more accommodating home for less also. It's your opportunity to get the home you have been thinking about for a long time, but just never pursued it.
