First Time Home Buyers! You Have 112 Days!

The Tax Credit Is Expiring!

If all goes according to plan, if you’re not in contract to purchase a home by April 30th, 2010, you will miss out on the incentive (incentive = FREE MONEY!) the government will give you as a reward for helping out the economy.

With prices AND interest rates AND the tax credit, if you’re in a position to purchase a home in the Sacramento area, now is a great time to do it.

Sounds Easy?  Think Again…

I’ve been working in the Sacramento area real estate market for 8 years.  Getting a buyer into a home has never been…HARDER than it is right now.

I have a buyer who I met in June.  We’re closing on his first home this month.   We wrote 35 agreements to get the one home.  He is highly qualified and it’s taken forever.

I represent many cash buyers who are looking for investment properties in the Sacramento area.  While these deals are infinitely easier to get done, they are still hard due to inventory levels which are lower than they have been in YEARS!

Start NOW!

If you intend to take advantage of the tax credit and purchase a home this year, please don’t wait until March to try and get it done.   The time to get started was last month when everyone else was opening presents!  If you put it off with inventory levels as low as they are, it won’t get done..that’s just a raw fact of our market.

Need Help?

I’m in the business of getting it done for my buyers.  My testimonials speak for themselves.  If you’re in the market for a home and need someone you can trust to get it done for you, just fill out the form below and I’ll call you immediately upon receipt.  If you’ve got someone to help and you just have a question for a second opinion…ditto!

One thing is certain, move now, don’t wait as if you do it could be too late to succeed.  The competition for homes is ramping up, BIG TIME!

   That’s definitely good advice to start now. I just wrapped up an appraisal this morning and I came across a listing in MLS where the agent said, “30 offers received. Accepting no more offers.”

   We’ve been seeing multiple offers for so long it seems passe’. Thanks for the comment Ryan!
