No SnowWhew...
December 3rd, 2008 and NO SNOW!! In fact, I'm looking out my window at blue skies here in Spokane. I may even play a little golf this weekend at one of our local courses that is still open for business...Check out ESMERELDA GOLF COURSE.
Open Houses
Back in April I posted a blog on Open Houses What would I have to do to get you to read it again?
Anyway, with the weather being so nice and incredible buying conditions...why not go check out some open houses? So far there are 78 homes being held open by Windermere Agents in the Spokane area this weekend. You can PREVIEW them HERE
Interest rates are still in the low 5% range...which gives you buyers incredible buying power. We toured new listings on the market yesterday and I was impressed with the pricing. Here is an example...and it just happens to be Open this weekend! 1/2 acre lot, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, shop in the back yard - that has heat...for $167,900!!
Wait...WHAT?!
I've been hearing all kinds of weird comments from buyers. Like, "I'll just wait until things get worse and then the government will give me a loan at 3% to buy a home". WHAT??? First of all, where did you hear that and second...how can you be sure things will get worse in housing in Spokane and how can you be sure that if you wait rates will still be in the low 5% range. Why not take advantage of real rates right now?!
Do yourself a favor, trust us...there are great buys in the marketplace right now. We've been trying to get the word out but CNN steals your attention with headlines like "real estate, worst ever" or something like that. Remember, there are areas in the US that are in bad shape. Spokane is plugging right along. Look at some of my previous posts for market data.
Open Houses are a great way to see, touch, smell and feel homes on the market. You can look at a thousand pictures on the net, but getting inside the home is the only way to really get a feel for it.
Take the time to ask your Windermere Realtor questions about the home, other homes in the neighborhood, school information, etc.
Hey, you can't go skiing so have fun, go see some Opens this weekend and considering buying a home.
