Oh the times they are changing. If you have ever wanted to own a home on the gulf this may be your time.

It was recently renovated and updated. If you would like to see more pictures or if you would like to see some other affordable gulf front properties please contact me, Brook Simmons, your local buyer specialist with Keller Williams Success Realty. ever wanted a gulf front home this may be your chance.

We've all heard it before, "Now is the time to buy". But does anyone explain why it is a good time to buy or why this may be the best time to buy in our entire lifetime? It's not just about the prices of homes. So here are some reasons why "Now IS the time to buy your first home".

Real Estate prices have "Rolled Back" 10 years in certain neighborhoods. We have traveled back in time price wise.

Rates are the lowest they've ever been. This may be the most important reason why now is the time to buy a home. Did you know that if your home value dropped but the rates went up that your payment would be either the same or more. So if you are waiting on prices to drop and not paying attention to rates you may have to make a higher payment for that cheaper price. The banks have tightend up on the lending thus making the loans more valuable which in turn will eventually drive the rates back up.

Let's not forget the $8000.00 tax credit for first time homebuyers or homebuyers who haven't owned a home in the last 3 years. That is awesome.

You can still get 100% financing in rural development areas which includes areas like Lynn Haven, East Callaway, certain parts of Hiland Park.

As a buyers specialist there is nothing more rewarding than helping a first time homebuyer get into a great house at a GREAT price and watching them walk away with little to no money out of their pocket. Call me today and let me help you find the right home for your family.

If you think that the deal will be around for long then guess again. I only work with buyers and many times they want to sleep on it before they put in an offer. I always try to remind them that someone else could have slept on it last night and that the good homes go fast. I don't want to sound like a pushy salesman but many times when buyers want to wait they find that the home they wanted is no longer available or it just went under contract. In today's market I continuously hear people say "We want a DEAL" Well here's the deal. To get the DEAL you got to make your move FAST and in some most cases you better go with your highest and best or you may miss the GREAT DEAL. When your Realtor tells you that you should go with your highest and best you probably need to listen. Most of us have good intentions and we want you to get that GREAT deal. Don't be a day late and a dollar short.
