Homes are still selling, however it is not a buying “frenzy” as before.
Interest rates are down and I am still showing and selling houses. The first time homebuyer tax credit is for those who have not purchased a home within the last three years. Check with your tax professional or call or email me and I can give you the details for this program.
Selling a house is not as easy as the buyer has more inventory to choose from. To make a property appealing it needs to be clean and neat with neutral colors. It is hard to please all buyers so the latter is the best advice. Not all sellers are desperate and they are waiting for the right buyer. Foreclosures still may sell within reasonable market value.
There are programs with no money down or very little 3.5% with FHA. You can also ask the seller to pay closing costs. These programs have guidelines but for buyers can be a great way to be a homeowner. I keep hearing from stock market advisers that real estate is the best investment in this economy.
