Spring is in the air and, especially after the weather of the last two weeks, it feels wonderful to be outdoors. I did an open house yesterday in the Hyde Park area that is perfect for 1st time home buyers and they know it. I had 12 different visitors and almost all of them were 1st timers. After all this ranch is priced at only $243, 876. It was such fun watching them go around the house and their expressions and comments were great. Ah, the enthusiasm of the inexperienced home buyer is next to none.
If you're thinking of buying, now is the time to get started. The government's tax credit is quickly running out. You must be in contract no later than April 30, 2010 and close no later than June 30, 2010. Plus, interest rates are starting to climb.
The best words of caution that I can offer to first timers, or anyone else for that matter, is please don't do this alone. The real estate world is very confusing and very complicated. Find yourself an experienced professional who does this every day and knows the ins and out.
As you go through this process you will be taught many things you never knew and, hopefully, will enjoy it to. Just think, you could be in your first home in time to have a wonderful Memorial Day BBQ.
If you need advice, or just want to chat, please call me. I can help
My client's #1 goal is my # 1
