5 Reasons to Buy a Home Now

The spring market continues to move along very strongly and I have come up with 5 different reasons why now is a great time to buy real estate in St. Cloud. 

1. Less Competition: You're going to have a lot less competition as a buyer right now than you will have in a year or two years. A lot of buyers are getting back into the market, but some of them are hesitant because they are unsure if this is a true recovery. You can avoid waging a bidding war with other buyers if you buy a home now.


2. Price Increases: Today we have prices that are still at a 30-year low. After dropping nearly 30% in the last 8 years, home prices are finally on the rise again. Now is your chance to lock in these low prices and ride up the increasing home prices. 


3. Home Ownership Builds Equity: Home prices are starting to rise and existing homes are much cheaper to buy than new construction. As new construction becomes more common in St. Cloud, it will bring up the price of other homes. This will allow you to build equity quicker and faster than you have in quite some time. 


4. Interest Rates: Interest rates remain very low at 4.5-4.75%. If you want to lock in the low interest rates and the ensuing low payments, then now is the time to buy. 


5. Shorter Repayment on Your Mortgage: This is an alternative way to build up a substantially larger amount of equity on your mortgage. 

Hopefully you have found this information to be helpful. I just wanted to let you know that you could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by choosing to buy now.

Before I get started I would just like to let you know how excited I am about the real estate market here in St. Cloud. We are off to a phenomenal start, and this is the first time I've been able to say this in a few years. 

Now, a question a lot of people have been asking is what type of agent they should hire for a real estate transaction. 

There are two kinds of agents that you should know about in today's market.

Passive Agents: When marketing your home these people will put an ad on the internet, in the newspaper, and also plant a sign in your yard. They might also do an open house, but they're really just sitting and praying that someone buys a home from then. 

The other, much better alternative is an active agent. An active agent will showcase your home on hundreds of websites, call his contacts, and go out into the field to find a buyer. This agent will seek out newlyweds and first time buyers that are eager to purchase a home. The active agent will do everything in his/her power to get your home sold. 

When you're looking for an active agent, look no further than myself. I will help you get the very best price for your St. Cloud property and I also promise that the sale will be as quick and hassle free as possible.
