I started this blog as away to increase awareness of who Antonina Erbst and Zachary Betts are in respects our to real estate business. The A to Z Group was a Great partnership that had an incredible run, now that run is over. I have started a new. Our focus before was short sales and market conditions. My focus will still be market conditions.
The market now is really different, prices are increasing, cash buyers are still buying, finance buyers going strong, people that lost homes are getting back into the market. This is the first time we have really 3 market segments, Short sales, Traditional sales (home owners with equity selling their home), and foreclosures.What does this all mean for you? If you are thinking about selling or buying do it. Interest rates are still down, prices are not astronomical, and the majority of properties now have equity.
If you are thinking about moving up do not hesitate. If you need to down size make a move don't sit there. If you are just thinking of buying first time or you lost your home in the recent past jump off the fence and get back into the market. If you are afraid of not being able to qualify work with a good professional loan officer, I know several. A good loan officer will give you the road to being able to qualify if you don't. You have nothing to be ashamed of particularly if you have and are taking steps to getting qualified to repurchase. Very few of us have had a perfect anything let alone a perfect credit history. Get back in the game.
Investors are still buying, some are holding others are flipping. Money is being made, not quite as much as before because now there is more competition for the homes.
My point to all of this is if you are interested in buying or selling real estate, I will do my best to provide you with current and up to date data so you can make the best decisions. The ultimate goal is to become your real estate agent of choice for life.
