I know you have heard this many times in the past year or so but IT IS AND IT IS RIGHT NOW!

Mortgage rates are at an all time low, the economy is improving and home prices are as low as they, by all economic indicators, are going to get.

If you are an investor and can fix up and hold a property for apporximately 11-12 months and the price is over $200,000, do it now.  If you an investor and wish to purchase a property at $200,000 or less and can have it ready to market in 30-60 days, do it now!  If you are a first time buyer, take advantage of the stimulus $8,000 credit-- BUY NOW!  If you are buying "up" to a higher price range, talk to your Realtor, now may be the time.

If you fall into another category, keep your eyes on our blog and columbusnorth.com and we'll keep you posted!!! Please contact me at 614-264-8906 or at jlabuda@kw.com I'd love to chat with you about real estate.
