In high school I took a lot of science courses and
intended to become a zoologist. Those courses taught me the discipline of asking
questions, testing theories and drawing conclusions based on experiments that
produced results. Those skills formed a foundation for decision making and
observation that have proved very helpful in my career as a real estate
professional.
Contrary to popular opinion, the real estate market has
been slowing i.e. declining since late 2005, not just since 2008. How do we
know? At that time, builders began to change their contracts to include certain
provisions if the buyer was an investor because investors were buying new homes
at pre-construction prices and putting them back on the market at or before
closing. Oftentimes these brand new homes were at lower prices than the builder
was currently selling. This process became know as “flipping” and caused a false
spike in the market. The homes being sold were not being sold to real owners,
but investors who were competing with the same builders who had sold to them in
the first place.
Once builders slowed down the process of selling to
investors, the market began the lengthy process of absorbing the excess
inventory of homes and condos brought into the market during this false boom.
This excessive inventory caused prices to fall simply due to the natural law of
supply and demand. Many of these excess properties went into foreclosure and
short sale status because there were simply not enough buyers for all of them.
This caused buyers to become confused over pricing or they were financially
paralyzed because they, too, had properties to sell before they could buy. Many
communities became falsely stigmatized because of their large inventory of
available properties.
There are a lot of rumors circulating about what, when
and how to buy at the best possible price. Understand that the real estate
market is a living organism – it changes every time something is bought and
sold. Its fluid and changes with the financial wind, public attitudes and
natural world conditions like hurricanes and floods. However, in 2009, buyers
are finding that just because a property has been on the market for 12 months
does not mean it will still be there next week. Some buyers are now finding
themselves in multiple offer situations again for the best deals. We’re seeing
buyers get great deals; some of those deals are at 2003 prices.
Get current data, use your powers of observation,
compare and make a great real estate buying decision today. Just remember that
everyone knows as much as you do about the market. If you see a great property
at a great price, other people have seen it too. The public is finding them and
showing up to buy them. Seeing is believing and we believe the market has
turned.

Reaching this alluring 'MARKET BOTTOM' will
likely not be good for buyer's. Why?
Well, the 'BOTTOM' will be the lowest price's, but 'ON THE
WAY DOWN' the Best and Choice deals were sold, i.e. those sales were the
'bottom' for each individual buyer and seller. That only leaves the properties
that failed to sell! So, wait for the 'bottom' if you must, but the best buy's
are made by negotiating for and making that bottom happen RIGHT NOW, and for
the property YOU WANT, not the LEFTOVER'S from prime deals already negotiated. Real estate tycoon Donald Trump exclained
this same strategy 14 months ealrier in Nov. '07 and approx. 20 months into the
downward, saying...
"...This is the time...to negotiate for unbelievable deals." (Video) Donald Trump on Real
Estate-King Show
We’ve all seen them. They’re out in winter decorating with evergreens and twinkling lights; in spring with flowers and mulch; in fall with pumpkins and hay bales. I’m not talking about business owners or school teachers, although we’ve seen them too. I’m talking about residents of neighborhoods who regularly gather supplies and helping hands to make their community entrance a beautiful and inviting place. Building scarecrows and flower beds builds a lot more than just seasonal décor. It builds community, plants residents’ roots, nurtures residents’ relationships and shows the world that they love their place in the sun.
Imagine that you are driving with your Realtor and you see a community where this activity is taking place. You immediately feel their pride for this community. You think how easy it would be to meet people who are doing things that anyone can do – no skills required. You think how nice it would be to drive in after a long, stressful day and look at the blooming flowers or twinkling lights. Those flowers or lights will bring a smile to your face that you can’t help but share with your spouse and children as you walk through the door. You want to buy a home in a community where people work together and show they care.
Now imagine that you are still driving with your Realtor looking for a home and you see someone throw a cup out their car window onto the community entrance median. You continue driving and see a resident mowing their lawn and blowing the clippings down the storm drain. You see people walking their dogs and using their neighbor’s lawn as a toilet without picking up. You see people speeding through stop signs, cutting corners on two wheels and jumping into intersections without a care for right of way or courtesy. You say, “Get me out of here; I want to live where people are at peace – not badgered”.
Even in this new age of fee-based neighborhoods with professional landscape services, there are still things that residents can do to create and nurture pride in their community. Here are some ideas borrowed from the organization known for sharing love through helping hands – the Girl Scouts: Leave a place cleaner than you found it. Organize a resident’s car wash and donate the proceeds to the food bank. Host a block party and have everyone bring school supplies for needy children. Gather neighbors and landscaping supplies to improve the yard of someone unable to do it themselves. Helping hands spread love around your neighborhood. Neighborhood pride – you know it when you see it.
