Is it time to buy?
Home sales continue at a rate better than compared to last year.
- According to the Oklahoma Association of Realtors, in March 2007, the average sale price for a single family home was $147,753 and over 1700 homes were sold: both statistics are up compared to 2006.
Buying a home is one of the largest financial investments a home buyer will make. Transaction costs are expensive enough that homeowners remain in their homes approximately six years before trading up or down ... On the other hand, homeownership provides significant benefits including property rights, tax benefits and other government subsidies including support for a mortgage lending market, quality of life, appreciation, and equity.
So here are some surefire ways to tell that it's really time to buy:- You found the home you really want.
- It's affordable.
- You can get a reasonable loan.
- It will serve you and your family for years to come.
- You're not looking for perfection. No home is perfect.
- You've given up trying to beat the market.
- You're comfortable with your compromises, whether it's location, size, price, features, or condition.
- You're confident the home you chose is desirable enough that you will be able to sell it in any market.
7 mistakes to avoid when selling your home
- Putting the home on the market before it's ready.
- Over improving the home for the neighborhood.
- Pricing the home based on what the seller wants to net.
- Hiring an agent based on non-business factors.
- Getting emotionally involved in the sale of the home.
