Is Now The Time To Sell My House?

Is now the time to sell my house or should I wait? That is probably the question most people who want to sell are asking themselves these days. It all comes down to do you need to sell right now or just do want to make a change? Sometimes because of a job relocation it is not a decision you have any choice to make. But if you want to sell because you have outgrown your present house due to family size or maybe you want to downsize because the kids have moved out, what do you do? With the dramatic drop in home values do you wait for the market to recover to the norm or do you sell now? Let's take a look at where the market is and where it may be going. If your house has dropped around 20% in value over the last 3 years and the market rebounds to what is considered normal which is an average of 2-3% appreciation a year it could take over 10 years for the market to make up the difference in what you lost. Most people don't and can't wait that long. What you do have going for you is that you can possibly save thousands of dollars on the house you will buy and at a very low interest rate if you need to finance it. So is it a good time to sell...you bet.

What is most important if you decide to sell you house keep in mind that all Realtors are not alike. As far a what company do you hire, that really has no bearing on your decision, remember the company does not sell your house the agent does. So be sure you choose an experienced agent who has an excellent marketing plan, has excellent negotiating skills and has the experience to help you all the way until you get a successful sale.

Extend The Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit

Extend the Home Buyer $8,000 Tax Credit
Thursday, October 15, 2009
by Jerry
The $8,000 tax credit is set to expire November 30th. Currently Congress is deliberating on to either let it expire or possibly extend the credit with modifications. The talk is that they could raise the credit to as high as $15,000 for all buyers (this means not just for 1st time home buyers). With the state of the economy nationally and the fact that local economy (Useful Information about York PA) is so depended on real estate related goods I believe if anything that needs a continued stimulus is real estate. I wouldn't have said that before this all started but since the government started down this road they have to finish what they started and don't let this vehicle run out of gas now. If they don't extend this to all home buyers it could be devastating nationally.

Foreclosures on the rise

According to the publication "Residential Specialist" one million foreclosures were filed in the first 5 months of 2009 and could reach 2.4 million by the end of the year. The Center for Responsible Lending (CRL), a nonprofit policy group, CRL estimates that these foreclosures could affect as many as 70 million nearby households and contribute to lost property values totaling $502 billion, or about $7,200 per family.

My goal as a Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) is to help people to avoid foreclosure either by Loan Modification or a Short Sale. If you know someone who may have a reduction of income or job loss or may have experienced time off work due to health issues or possibly some other valid reason for not being able to make a payment please contact me for a confidential meeting. I am here to help.

House Flipping

Beware of House Flippers! Sellers beware of the come on advertising to "buy your house for cash". Remember it is an investor looking to steal your house at a low price, put as few dollars in it and turn around and make a tidy sum. Who loses? The house Seller. Who wins the investor. Unless you are desperate for a quick sale don't talk to these people!
