Is it time to buy a home?


In terms of a time period in history that would be good to buy, it certainly is now! If you trace back history and Real Estate, you see the trend of 4 years of values going up, 4 years down, and 4 years flat.

In southern NH we are 7 years into that cycle. What that means is, historically we should start to see values starting to go up (ever so slightly at first) in the next 18-24 months, which means NOW is the time to buy.

Having traveled the country speaking for the last 3 plus years, I have seen areas in the last 9 months that are really starting to come to life. Clarksville TN is starting to boom with New Construction, and in the Dallas Tx. Area, the investors are finding it harder and harder to find great deals because they have been drying up. I can name many other areas, but this gives you an idea.

Bottom line, if you are able to purchase property right now, do all that you can in order to do such.

Best advice I can give if you are thinking of buying…. Is to make sure you get pre-approved for a mortgage first. Getting pre-approved makes you almost a cash buyer, and keep in mind there is a huge difference between “pre-qualified” and pre-approved.

If you want or need the contact data for a great loan officer, just let me know.
