The Truth About

Today's Market

As many of you know, I am a subscriber to the services of Buffini & Company, a Real Estate Coaching organization that has provided me with various forms of coaching, and items of value that I pass along to my clients.  Today's blog comes form Buffini & Company, and it states accurately and beautifully what I have been telling my clients and prospects for the past year.

You hear the bad news everywhere you turn. It’s on the television, the Internet, the radio and in print headlines. What you don’t hear is the good news about the Real Estate market.

Bad news sells newspapers and gets high television ratings; therefore, the media has no reason to report the upside of today’s real estate market to the average American. This is where I come in. For example, did you know that approximately 30 percent of homeowners own their home free and clear?

The current market also affords some great opportunities for those looking to purchase a home. First-time homeowners, move-up buyers and investors can all benefit from low home prices, large selection and historically low interest rates.

In addition, the government approved a First Time Buyer Tax Credit, up to $8000, that does not require repayment if the borrower resides in and maintains ownership of the property for at least three years. Regulations do apply and can be reviewed at www.federalhousingtaxcredit.com, or just give me a call and I will be happy to discuss it with you.

Cick on the these links for information about the $8,000 Tax Credit and the Truth about Today's Market.  Call me to hear more about the good news in today’s housing market. I can’t wait to share it with you.
