8,000 reasons to jump off the fence!

I can see you up there, sitting and watching. Just waiting for the day that the perfect house comes along, waiting for that price to go just a little lower so you can pounce like a tiger stalking their prey. I understand, because I do the same thing. Always knowing that if you don't catch one today there will be another tommorrow. Always stalking, lurking just out of sight.

But what if another doesn't come tommorrow? Or if it does maybe the price is higher and the seller is less likely to deal? Maybe its time to make your move?

The new stimulus package of an $8,000 tax credit is going to move the market some. The new Obama plan to stop foreclosures is going to keep a few people from losing their home and having to short-sell it. The sellers will soon smell you in the wind, just waiting and watching. There is a good chance that a couple of homes will start to sell, then a couple more, and a few after that. The market may start to turn, slowly at first but then begin a little quicker. It only takes a few to start a trend.

My advice to you is to take the bait, jump in and make your kill. There may be another tommorrow for a little less money that you might miss, but today's is still a good deal. Just remember, there may not be a better tommorrow to buy a home and you will have missed it.
