Some of you who are actively (or passively) exploring homes to buy are probably wondering if there are any deals left out there. It was only a short year (or 2) ago that they were a dime a dozen, flooding the market, and allowing you the opportunity to ponder the purchase. Times have certainly changed since then. There seems to be more of a buyer frenzy now than ever before. If you see a house you are interested in, it is important that you schedule a showing asap. Chances are there are plenty of other people thinking exactly the same. While you are in there take pictures. That is a quick way to refer back to the things you forgot about the home (like, was there a closet there or not?). If its the winner, be prepared to write an offer! Get in there before the rest of the competition. Home values are going up, and are predicted to keep rising, so the sooner the better! There are still some pretty good deals out there. In most cases, some TLC is going to be involved, but that is a great way to add instant equity to a home!
Have a GREAT day :)
