Want a Bigger Better Home?  Opportunity is knocking for Jacksonville Home Buyers….

If you have been thinking about moving in Jacksonville, this is the perfect time.   A few key reasons to get out there and find a new home in Jacksonville:

Interest Rates: THEY ARE SO LOW! This is some of the lowest rates in history. EVEN lower than the 2003, 2004, 2005 boom years!  I was there.  We were talking about 5.5% in the boom years as “Crazy Low”.  Now it’s even better!   A valued mortgage broker friend of mine just shocked me with standard rates lower than 5%.

What does this mean for you:  You have MORE buying power than ever.   AKA Buy Better Bigger Nicer Home.

Inventory: I know builders who have built SPEC homes who are “dumping inventory” in order to keep from paying more money towards carrying cost.  They are selling well built homes in great neighborhoods for very little profit and sometimes no profit at all.  There are Sellers out there who have moved and the home is now sitting….empty for months.  As a Jacksonville Realtor, I seek these deals out constantly.  What does this mean for you:   This is a great time to find very good deals!

Your Homes Value: Okay this is tricky.  Is your home nice?  Well taken care of?  Have you been there for a few years or more?  Is the yard in good shape?  If you answered “Yes” to these questions, you are way ahead of the game. Many of your neighbors are holding off on selling their home because they have been watching the news. The truth is Buyers are out there and they are looking for good homes!

The Bottom Line: The Jacksonville Real Estate market is selling.  Now is a great time to get a deal on your dream home!  Find a good Jacksonville Real Estate Agent (like myself) and get out there and make it happen!
