Signs show that last years continuing slip in values may hopefully have found the mark that sets the bottom.
These affordable housing prices, historically low interest rates and federal home buyer tax credit
have combined to create the most attractive first-time buyer market as well as an unparalleled
opportunity for move-up buyers. The market is moving.  You won't see this for long...

Walter M Nicholson CRBTypically, it takes three months or longer to sell a home. That’s why it is critical repeat buyers put their home on the market right away. Otherwise they might not leave themselves enough time to both secure a buyer for their current house and find a new home by the April 30 deadline
There is no requirement that existing homeowners must have sold their home to be eligible for the $6,500 tax credit,
the repeat buyer must have signed a binding contract by April 30, 2010 and close on the home by June 30, 2010.

Today's lower values have many sellers bummed out.
But not to worry . . .  It is all relative.

The house you sell goes for less these days, and the house you'll buy goes for less these days.

Starting to see how you'll come out on top ?
If your home appraised for $250,000 in 2007 you will probably find agents recommending you list in the $180's (ala 2005) and be prepared to negotiate and pay concessions.
The good news is that most Sellers will be moving up in terms of house/neighborhood - and that translates into a similar percentage adjustment in the home you'll purchase.
Consider - Selling that property that had $250,000 value in 2007 which has adjusted down 30% - that would be around $175,000 today's value.
An adjustment of $75,000
Then purchasing a property that had $400,000 value in 2007 with a similar 30% adjustment it would be around $280,000 today's value.
An adjustment of $120,000
That puts your out of pocket, real dollar saving at $45,000 - Thanks to the downward corrected market.

Now add to that a lower interest rate likely and see that saving balloon!
 

These are just a few of the ways we leverage every opportunity to get your home the maximum attention and exposure it deserves.
