THE SUNNY SIDE OF A
DOWN REAL ESTATE MARKET
Great Buys!!
This is indisputably one of the best times in recent real estate history to buy. We are well into a one year recession which, if stabilized, will still take a good year or more to affect the economy and the job market. Sellers have adjusted to the market and either taken their properties off the market or listed at a reasonable number.
Interest rates are low and money is available to qualified buyers. Some Lenders are quoting as low as 3.25% interest. That combination of events can really have a sunny side. It offers opportunity in areas which were previously out of reach for many Buyers: A lake property at under one million dollars; an equally well priced authentic Alfredo Taylor house overlooking a golf course; a 5-Bedroom renovation with 38 acres of total privacy and views, pool and tennis court; or a 1790 Colonial renovation with 60 acres including pool and tennis. The inventory is extensive, also adding to the negotiability of the market.
Whether your budget is $200,000 or $1,000,000, the properties are available. Two properties in Salisbury are under agreement under $200,000. This entitles you to all the benefits of living in Salisbury -- children in Salisbury Central School, access to Salisbury Recreational Programs, including Lakeville Lake in the summer, Library Programs, not to mention our Low Real Estate Taxes. This is just one of several beautiful Towns in the Northwest Corner with easy access to train service to New York City.
As a Buyer, put your best foot forward. Present your offer with a Letter of Prequalification from your Bank. This will help you understand exactly how much of a mortgage you can qualify for and will show the Seller that you are serious and qualified. Make your offer simple! Stick with the building inspection and the mortgage contingency and be ready to close quickly. All of this is worth money to the Seller and will make your offer appealing.
For those interested in Rentals while they test the market, there are sellers who have decided to wait the market out and would be willing to rent for an extended period of time. A Winter rental is not a bad way to decide on a particular area you may be interested in.
No matter your needs, let the professionals at Elyse Harney Real Estate guide you in your search for the right home at the right price and in the right location.
