Five Reasons for First-Time Homebuyers to BUY NOW!

Brian Solinsky CDPE, CNE, ABR (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 11:51:02 -0400

5. Unemployment rates went down in the month of July for the first time this year.

4. Sales in July were up to the highest levels since May of 07.

3. Prices are at the same levels as 2005.

2. Interest rates are near historic lows, hovering around the low 5% for a 30-year fixed.

1. First-time homebuyers get an $8,000 tax credit if closed on a house by Dec. 1^st, 2009.

Inventory is being snatched up much more quickly. The good deals have offers on them right away. I have had two listings with full-price offers on them within 24 hours of putting it on the market.

I would just hate to have you miss out on the best market to buy. Already I would say March 09 was the best time to buy and we are on the up-curve now. Could we have another slight drop in the near future? Possibly around Dec - Feb, but probably not much and the $8,000 tax credit will be gone by then, unless the government reinstates it.

All indications show we are in recovery for the lower end real estate market in our area.

Now is the time!

South Sound Real Estate Market Shows Improvement

Brian Solinsky CDPE, CNE, ABR (Keller Williams Realty) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:43:33 -0400

It seems everyone is talking about the ‘state of the economy' these days. Much of what has happened in the past year is a direct result of the real estate and banking industry, along with the Federal Government's attempts at "bail-out".

No wonder so many people are confused and struggling in today's economy.

Yet, there is hope! The South Sound Real Estate market is showing signs of improvement with pending sales up to the highest levels since May 2007.

Building starts are up 11%, showing that builders are able to get funds to build, and the confidence to do so is returning.

Sellers are able to negotiate with a bit more confidence and some are even receiving multiple offers. Though sellers are still competing with bank-owned homes and short sales, so pricing is very important on the road to selling.

The absorption rate, which measures what type of market it is, has slowly been creeping to equal. Six months of inventory is considered an equal market. In Dec. ‘08 the absorption rate was at 12 months of inventory, now it is at 8 months, still a buyer's market, but showing signs of improvement.

With only a couple months left for first - time homebuyers to take advantage of an $8,000 tax credit from the Federal Government, we should see more homes sold in the coming months.

Puyallup Real Estate Market Report - April 09

Brian Solinsky CDPE, CNE, ABR (Keller Williams Realty) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:04:56 -0400

Spring is here and so is the real estate activity in Puyallup. After a dismal 2008 and a rough start to 2009, it seems that buyers are beginning to come out and actually purchase homes in Puyallup. Granted a majority of the sold homes in the past month are bank owned or short sales, the increase in activity is a welcome sight.

The biggest indicator of the increase in real estate activity is the number of pending sales in Puyallup, 143 as of this posting for the past 30 days. Compare that to 68 pendings in March of 2009 and 86 pendings in April 2008.

Now the question is how many of those will turn into SOLD properties. The ratio of pendings to solds has dropped in the past year, due to a number of factors, mainly financing difficulties. As underwriters of the loans continue to enforce strict guidelines, conditions imposed make it more challenging to close on a transaction. Appraisers are also under much scrutiny, so they are being more cautious with value estimates.

Overall, the indication is that we are either in the late stages of the down curve or the early stages of recovery. Either way, is appears we are near the bottom and it is a good time for qualified buyers to catch a good deal with low interest rates in Puyallup.
