West Chester OH Real Estate: Waiting For the Bottom

December 15, 2009 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

There are many people out there waiting for the bottom to hit in many facets of the economy, including real estate.  Perhaps there will be a big announcement one morning across newspaper headlines and across the internet “THE BOTTOM IS HERE: NOW IS THE EXACT MOMENT TO BUY”.  Of course by the time the announcement comes the bottom will have hit and the exact time to buy real estate will have come and gone.

A great analogy to the bottom of the real estate market is a yo-yo.  Take a yo-yo in your hand and use it.  Can a person grab the yo-yo at the exact moment it hits bottom every time?  Chances are a person will grab it just before it hits bottom or just after, rarely at the exact bottom.   Real estate is the same game, if it is indeed a game.  If people knew, absolutely knew, the exact time to buy stocks, real estate, or any other investment then no one would ever have a financial worry.

For people who believe in investing in real estate, now is a great time to buy.  Interest rates won’t be low forever, in fact interest rates have been inching up the past 10 days now.  Most mortgage experts expect interest rates to return to the 6.00% range over the next few months to a year.

In addition, the tax credits available for purchasing a home make now an incredible time to buy.  

Real estate has either already hit the bottom, is about to or is already on its way up, we’ll know for certain sometime in the future.  If you want to buy at the bottom, buy now. Or wait until it’s too late, when you can look back and say, “If only I had bought then.”

West Chester, OH Real Estate: A Home Inspection Before You Sell?

December 3, 2009 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

Selling Your West Chester, Liberty Township & Beckett Ridge Ohio Home
Consider doing a home inspection before selling your home

If you are considering selling your home in the current real estate market it would be prudent to have a home inspection completed before putting your home on the market.  It is rare that a buyer will not have a home inspection done before closing and being aware of any problems and taking care of them prior to selling can alleviate the pain that surprise issues can bring.  Doing the inspection prior to listing also gives you time to seek out competitive estimates for completing the work as opposed to being under the gun right before closing.

It is a competitive real estate market out there.  A seller’s best chance of snagging a buyer always comes from having the home in top notch condition.  More than looking good, a home needs to function well and it is important to examine the mechanical systems such as plumbing, wiring, heating and cooling issues, as well as, the roof and other structural components.

If problems with a property are faced and dealt with before selling, it will make the entire process go more smoothly and there should be no surprises when going through the contractual steps before closing.
