Real Estate Market Going Strong- Working with a Realtor
Well, the real estate market shows no signs of stopping its growth! New construction and resale prices are both continuing to grow. The rate of growth may slow down a bit, but the trend will still be towards strong real estate markets. With all this it can be confusing to try and determine whether the time is right to buy or sell, or both. This is why having a realtor working for you is such a good idea (not that I'm biased or anything!).
Making the decision to sell, and deciding how to price your property are a really big deal, and in a fluctuating market (knowing when it might slow down, and how much, and in which pocket areas) it can be downright intimidating. That doesn't even take into account deciding where to buy, how much you can negotiate the price and whether or not it's the right time to start investing in rental properties (hint- real estate is almost always a smart investment!). It's important for people to know that working with a realtor doesn't have to cost you anything when you're looking to buy, and can save you headaches, time and legal problems when you're the seller. Most importantly, it's handy to have an agent you can just get advise from without having to worry about cost!
On a personal note- my husband, Ernie and I have just recently bought the CP Cinemas and are loving owning the local theater! Come on by the cinema, watch a movie, have a popcorn and enjoy small town living!
