Overview of the Current Real Estate Market
The market trends in real estate haven't changed much in the last year, and things still aren't looking great. In the middle of 2010, there where more homes available on the market then there has ever been reported. This is great if you are a buyer, since this means you have a wider market to choose from and you are going to be able to take advantage of the competitive prices. If you are seller who is trying to get rid of a home, things are only getting worse, especially since its been reported that the cost of foreclosed homes has decrease by 4%.
When a lender gets a foreclosed property their objective is to get rid of it as soon as they can to get the money that is owed on it. They don't want to be sitting on a bunch of different properties so they are going to sell the home for as small of an amount as they can afford to. This causes the other homeowners in the area to be forced to drop their homes prices and it is also drives down the value of the other homes in the area. It is also harder for homeowners to sell their properties since it has become so incredibly difficult for consumers to get loans, even with good credit and steady jobs.
This is very unfortunate for the consumers who are trying to sell their homes right now, and since numbers have shown that 1 in 5 home mortgages are in default of some kind, this horrible market trend is only going to continue. For anyone who is looking to purchase a home, and is able to get approved right now, taking advantage of these low priced homes, and amazingly low interest rates, is the best financial investment you can make. You also want to act quickly, since financial experts foresee that interest rates are going to go up in the third quarter of this year.
If you are someone who is trying to sell your home, you want to do it as soon as possible, because it appears that the market may still continue to go down. For consumers who are shopping for homes, able to get approved for a home mortgage and don't plan on selling anytime soon, right now is the best time to buy. - Advantage Property Ventures, L.P.
