My New Blog

The market is picking up some and we may be at our bottom. We still have too many properties over priced with our current market conditions, but prices are coming down. The good agents in our market are pricing new listings right and that is creating activity right away.

We just listed a home on the golf course with a beautiful yard, all brick two story with a huge balcony on the second level over looking the golf course. Extremely well maintained and the best value in our entire market with resort living on the golf course. It is priced at $235,000 and is located at 393 W Rockford Drive, Branson, MO. Take a look at our featured listings for more information. It has already been shown and is in the top three list that those prospective buyers loved.

Now is the time, recent quote on a USDA Loan was 5% with 30 year fixed. This benefits buyers and is a great time for sellers if they price their property right.

We have three Short Sale homes on the market priced at discounted rates. The bank on two of these say they can close in 60 days or less with a qualified buyer.

We are in the process of putting several foreclosured homes on the market in  Emory Creek Ranch subdivision. They will be going on the MLS over the next several weeks and through out the summer. We should have two on the market in the next two weeks. These homes will all be priced at a deep discount.

Keep checking the website for these great deals.

1. $ 8000 tax credit before Dec 1, 2009

2. Homes are being purchased 10-30% less than in the last three years. You are buying at a discount.

3. Interest rates are at an all time low on a 30 year fixed rate. This will not last.

If I were you, I would be talking to a banker to see if you can purchase a home. In our area we have people paying rent that will make the payments on their home.

The last home I listed went under contract in 19 days because it was a good value and the buyers knew it is a good time to buy. It was priced at $ 235,000.

It seems hard to imagine but many buyers and sellers are not aware of the   $8000 tax credit provided by the Federal Government. Some refer to this as a first time home buyer program. That is not totally true.

If you or your spouse have not owned a home in the last 3 years you qualify as a first time home buyer. There are some limits on income but most buyers easily qualify. If your income is less than $75,000 as a single or $150,000 as a couple you will receive the full $8000. If your income is higher it is prorated.

If you own the home for 3 years you do not pay it back.

This is a check or refund on your taxes. You must purchase a home before December 1, 2009 to qualify.

Please share this with your friends.
