Mistakes of an uninformed Buyer

Hello,
I talk to a lot of people about real estate. I keep hearing the same thing over and over again; "I am just going to wait six months for the market to come back".

STOP!

Don't wait. I will guarantee, when you do wait and decide to get behind the eight ball, you'll be behind everyone else too! Good thinking you! Really knew when to strike when the iron was hot!

1. The early bird gets the worm. Prices may keep falling, yes, but really how much more? We have seen a lot of falling, and yes I will agree that they probably will fall some more. But ask yourself two things; One, do you know when they will bottom out? And two, can you finance right now?

If you answered yes to the first one, congratulations, you are psychic and should tour in Las Vegas. If there was a yes to the second question, and you haven't purchased yet, help yourself out by taking your right boot off and tap it against your head!

2. Would you pay a little extra for a sure thing? I sure as hell would. Why gamble with an unknown when you can have security for a little extra. This is just common sense! I don't even know why I am talking about this, but people, would you leave your front door unlocked on the chance you WOULDN'T be robbed just so you can open your door more conveniently?

Do yourself a favor, help the economy a little, and buy something! A house would be great, because those who can finance right now will be the foundation for what's ahead.

Let me know what you think.
John
