Are buyers ready to buy this spring? Can we get them to commit to buying this spring?
Or are they going to say, not sure we are at the bottom yet, lets wait and see. Well, in Southern Orange County, Mission Viejo the bottom was a year ago! I checked the prices from last January to this January and the prices are up about 8%.
There are buyers out there wanting to buy and it is up to us to give them positive reasons, that this is the time to purchase a home.
One of the ways to do this is to push the reasons to own a home. You need a roof over your head, so why not be paying on your own property and building equity. Being able to make it represent your style and show to others, who you are. You can't do that living in someone else's property. You can write off property taxes which will put more money in your pocket. The last thing is appreciation and there will be appreciation again. It is already happening.
The things that we forget, are that owning and paying for your own place fills you with pride and that is something we need to encourage our clients to realize once more.
I hate this statement but here goes, "when I was young" you didn't measure who you where by what car you had. A car was transportation and you got what you could afford at the time. Today young people buy the most expensive car they can and live at home with the excuse; I can't afford a place of my own "I have a car payment". In other words the car became more important than being on your own and saving to buy a home.
We can change the public and make them aware of the positives in owning a home.
