DC Real Estate Market Report -April 2009

According to April 2009 DC Real Estate Market Report,sales are picking up. So would this be a great time for you to take advantage of this home buying opportunity. My simple answer is Yes. Why? Please read my blog DC Deanwood Real Estate Market Report Zip code 20019 for April 2009. In this blog I give three good reasons why the time to buy a house in DC is now.

Even though average days on the market have increased-which to you can be a great thing. (I will explain this later ),but home sales have increased from 368 houses sold in DC April 2008 to 417 houses sold in DC this month a 13.2% increase. So why should bad news to home sellers such as the average days of a house on the market which increased from 77 days to 92 days be good news to you the home buyer? It gives you more time as a home buyer to either save up money for downpayment and/or closing cost fees(Some sellers pay all of the home buyers closing cost fees),pay off some bills to improve your credit score to get a good interest rate and buy a house in DC that best suits your wants,needs and lifestyle without you rushing. There are too many inventory on the market for you as a home buyer to choose from.

But as of today,there is only six months left for you to take advantage of the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit for DC Home buyers . So if you need to buy a house in DC.-THE TIME IS RIGHT NOW.

It is of course the nation's capital,home of the Federal Government and K St NW where you will find many of the movers and shakers of Washington DC. Tourism as usual is huge here in Washington DC. Places like the White House and the Smithsonian Museum-( where the sequel to Ben Stiller's new movie Night at the Museum:Battle of the Smithsonian was shot)are places tourists like to visit. Also it is the home of Kiplinger Magazine Headquarters-I didn't ever know that.
