That's a great question Greg, thanks for asking? Let me share with you what I explained to Greg.
Traditionally the summer months are very slow. However this real estate market isn't like any market we've ever experienced.
In fact Chris Gordon of Channel 4 News called the other day,asking the same question, the media was working on a story, wanting to know if as a Realtor in the field, I'm seeing a shift or a change. I explained"you bet we are! The market has been trying to kick start for a few months now." So what do I think is the uunderlying reason homes are selling so fast?"
- The $8000 tax credit ends in less than 5 months!
- Interest rates have started to creep up and that changes a buyers Buying Power
- Less foreclosures are entering the market
- Buyers have become more realistic about putting in offers on Short Sale homes ( and are now willing to be patient)
Currently if you looking a home priced under $500,000 in Prince William County chances are very good you will be amoung many competing for the same home. Gone are the days when you would see a home on line, call a Realtor, go look at the house, wait a few days to "think about it" and then write a contract. If a buyer attempts that in today's market you will be a day late and a $ short every time. I wish I had better news especially if you've been sitting waiting to buy. As a Realtors it is ourmake the market, it's is our job to coach you on your options, and help you find a home that will meet your wants,needs and desires within your budget
Call me or email me and all of us at Erick and Company will help you get the home you've been dreaming of. Remember, you have until November 30th, 2009 to qualify for the $8000 Home Buyer Credit. What are you waiting for time is running out.
If you are a homeowner, now is a great time to think about selling. Actually if you do not have to rely on a bank for short sale approval, you may find yourself in a very good situation. Give me a call and let's see what's possible. I think you might be surprised at your options!
