Hi,
I run into people all the time whose first question/combined statement is: "Gee, how's the market...pretty lousy out there, hey?"
Well, not for me, I say. Yes, it could be stressful for sellers who have to sell...and right away. And on the positive side I am seeing great strides for first time buyers and an opportunity for people migrating into the area to have a nicer home.
So how does this help you, the client, rationalize buying or selling now? If you're buying, anyone moving up can expect to purchase a better value today which means less of a house payment and a more prestigious home. If you're a first time buyer you can expect to have your pick of hundreds of homes in the North Bay that you certainly would have been priced out of last year and the year before. In fact, we're seeing investment property beginning to pencil out in the Santa Rosa area.
If you're selling because of a transfer or a change in lifestyle, you still can look forward to finding some jewels out there because we have an overage of properties on the market which means more choices and more bargaining power for you.
We know real estate goes through it's cycles and this one will complete itself in time. So what's to cry about? We had 22 sales in March and that's a good thing.
Is our glass half full here in the world of real estate? ALWAYS!
Sincerely,
Tricia Perkey
