We are almost three months removed from the Government Tax Credit being expired and as a real estate professional I could not be more excited. I have actually heard these three months as referred to as the "Post Tax Credit Hangover." I'm not going to sit here and blow smoke to you, I can not say that we are as busy as we were during the heart of the tax credit. However, I can tell you this: I LOVE THIS MARKET, this market is real, it's rational, and it's where the best separate themselves from the rest. At least a dozen times in the last three months I have heard completely irrational, mind warped potential buyers utter these sad little words: "We are going to wait until another tax credit is put in to place." I simply respond with a simple yet fair question! "Really, you were only buying a home for the free money?" Most of them answer by saying, "Well no, but it was sure nice." Immediately the tone of the conversation changes at that point and we as CBH Sales agents can begin to have a logical discussion with our prospects. Sure the tax credit was nice, but now more than ever as real estate professionals we must show the advantages of homeownership, it's simple really. I call these Joel's Top Ten reasons why people should BUY NOW and STOP RENTING!
10. You aren't paying your landlords mortgage: (I'm sure they send their condolences)
9. Interests rates are lower than ever before, ask your parents and grandparents.
8. You get a huge Tax write off every year: (i.e. your tax return is LARGER)
7. Your Cousin, friend, brother, sister hasn't bought one yet: (They will envy you)
6. News Flash: Homes are on sale It's cheaper to BUY than RENT(Call me 208-371-2284)
5. It's an investment: (Code: when it's paid off, it's worth MONEY) How much is
your rental worth after paying it off? Oh that’s' right ZERO, at least to you!
4. Even if the Markets not ideal, you THROW Away less money away than renting
3. More Options than Ever! It's like a buffet of homes, choose what you want.
2. Don't believe everything you hear: Loans are stronger than ever.
1. IT's YOURS! Would you rather Rent your clothes, or buy them... NO BRAINER..
I hope you enjoyed my fun blog on the reasons to buy a home. Thank you for reading: We LOVE WHAT WE DO, We WELCOME CHANGE, WE ARE CBH HOMES.
