Are You Ready?
Sometimes when I’m helping my clients, particularly buyers, I can’t help but wonder if they are really ready to buy a home. Are they only buying because of the tax credit that’s being offered? Are they buying to fix and then tango with making a buck selling later?
When did buying a house become an investment in anything other than your happiness? I have to say, I do come across many buyers who are buying for just that. To make an improvement in their life. The differences between the two kinds of buyers, as well as the experience each has, is like night and day. One is careful, thoughtful and celebratory, while the other is tense, hesitant, and lacks any sort of resolve or finale.
Are you ready to be the kind of buyer you want to be?
I recently read this article that I thought summed it up quite nicely.
“I think I could write a successful blog just on what I read in the Chicago Tribune each day. Why I even read the Tribune is a quandary to me, given that the paper reads more like the Huffington Post these days. From time to time I enjoy real estate writer Mary Umberger, although I think she’s a little pessimistic on the market, and do think she ignores the real reasons that people buy houses for. And she ignores me when I write to her with article ideas.” To read more, click here.
