Where are the Buyers?

I am fortunate enough to be in a field of work that allows me to combine my two favorite past-times--helping people and helping Mother Earth. Perhaps you haven't thought much about it, but I help others recycle a precious commodity that many Americans pay good money for--their homes. First, I get to help people either buy or sell a home (or help them find someone to refinance their current home), and second, being a Realtor allows me to take my passion for recycling to the next level--finding new owners for previously owned homes. New construction is nice, don't get me wrong; it's just special when I can help keep existing homes lived-in and taken care of.

With interest rates so low (Don't believe me? Ask your parents or other relatives if they ever had a mortgage with a 13%, 18%, or 21% interest rate), plenty of homes on the market, and lenders with money to loan, where are all the buyers? I saw an ad for a credit union the other day stating it had $50 million to lend.

Why would you not want to buy right now? If you are concerned about your credit, call me. We will take a look, see how it is and, if necessary, put together a game plan so you can buy a home in the near future. Is it time to move into a larger home or a smaller home? Perhaps you've been thinking about buying a second home, an investment property, or a building for your company? Are you toying with the idea of refinancing? Now is the time. There are plenty of homes and commercial properties for you to consider.

Whether you hear my 15 year old call me a hippie, my hubby describe me as a granola-eating free-spirit, or even hear me say I'm off to a tree-hugger meeting, please know that I am here to help you in any way that I can. Now is the time.

If you are buying a home, I'm interested in hearing the reason(s) why. If you aren't buying and could, I'd love to hear why you aren't.

Wishing you health, wealth, and prosperity,
Suz
