If You Don’t Buy Your Ozona, FL Home now, You’ll Hate Yourself Later
December 13th, 2007 categories: Market Updates
If you’re like most people, you want a “great deal” and want to buy a home at the bottom of the market.
Warning! Don’t let holiday fun blurr your vision. It’s time to save yourself from that 3-martini real estate hangover
. For once, steer clear of Molly Goodhead’s in Ozona this Friday night.
Timing the real estate market is like playing with fire, just as is the case with the stock market. Just ask Suze – she knows. Are we at the bottom yet? That’s probably not the case if you’re in the market for a Pinellas County Home.
That being said, Tracey Thomas, a Realtor from Calabasas, CA gives us a slam dunk blog post on why trying to time the market and postponing the purchase of that Palm Harbor luxury home that you’ve always dreamed about is a huge mistake in her Pin The Tail on the Bottom of The Market.
Many of the Pinellas County investors in ‘04 and ‘05 tried to time the market, too, and that’s why most of them are belly up now … or are on the verge of it. Why not cash in on their mistakes?
There are some absolutely incredible homes on sale now - and we aren’t
just talking about little Clearwater Condos. These homes include Palm Harbor luxury homes, Clearwater Beach homes, Dunedin luxury homes, Crystal beach luxury homes, Champions Club golf homes on the 18th hole, ….. well, you get the idea. Some of these $1M+ properties also happen to be Pinellas short sale homes - we have the list of what’s available - updated daily.
Other reasons why now is the time to buy….
- The Fed just cut interest rates again on Tuesday and rates are insanely low. We always caution buyers simply not consider a few thousand dollars they may save on the purchase price of a home by timing the market, because even a .025% difference in the interest rate can gobble any perceived savings off of the initial price instantly.
- Lenders are tightening their restrictions faster than the crew from the SunCoast Cycling Club on the Pinellas Trail.
- Pretty soon you’ll need to walk on water like Jesus to get a home loan.
How are you going to feel 6 months from now if Joe Blow is sitting on what should have been your private beach behind that waterfront Ozona, FL home that you’ve always always wanted?
What if it’s next summer and you have to set your sights lower because that gulf-front property is no longer within your budget? Or you can’t get a loan to buy it?
Caution: Don’t have that 3rd or 4th martini the media’s trying to feed you.
Read the six stages of hangovers and apply it to your home dreams. Grab that cup of Joe instead and go home shopping this weekend.
Buy cheap. Buy now. Be happy.
