TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY

January 17,2008

Buyers, Are you standing on the side lines waiting for the bottom of the real estate market to hit?  Are you waiting to purchase your new home for as little as possible? Are you listenening to the all the negativity in the media?

If so, you also need to hear the GOOD NEWS! As of today January 17th we have here in Dutchess County alone, 2,525 Single Family units and 208 Attached units available on the market.  The rates today for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage are 5.5% and a 15 year fixed rate is 5%.  Due to the large amount of inventory, we have sellers negotiating and builders offering great incentives in some developments.

Do the math. Low interest rates + buying power+ increased inventory=BUY NOW. This formula works great for you if you want to find your dream home and plan on enjoying it for the next few years.

For the investor, now is the time to investigate in the foreclosures in our area.

I am an Accredited Buyers Representative and can offer you the very best personalized care, knowledge and undivided attention to assisting you in making one of the biggest investments of your life.
