This issue focuses on a year that saw greater stablization in our market, units were flat and prices took a 6% step down, as distressed properties have sync’ed up with the market sales trendline. The real story is the continued decline of interest rates throughout the year, as we start 2012 below 4% which is more than a full point lower than this time last year. Real Estate Market Newsletter

1.    Check your credit. There is no bad surprise worse than a bad credit surprise. Okay, maybe there is one thing worse – a credit surprise you receive while you’re in the midst of trying to buy a home!

2.    Do your research.  The more rapidly the real estate market changes, the more it behooves smart buyers to study up before they jump in. 

  • Get a Real Estate and Mortgage professional.
  • Find our more about Short sales and REOs.
  • What you get for the money. Online house hunting is a powerful tool – especially when it’s cold and wet! But there comes a point in your house hunt where you’ve got to just get out into the actual physical homes you’re seeing online in order to get a strong, accurate sense of what home features.

3.    Fluff up your cash cushion.  No matter how much you’ve saved, you’ll find that you could use more once you activate your home buying action plan.

4.    Shed some stuff.  Sell it. Donate it.

5.    Sit very, very still.  Sometimes, the best way to further our goals is to stop tripping ourselves up.
