FROM KRISTIN: This article is so true! There are a lot of buyer’s out there. Inventory is less. There is more competition when putting offers in quite often there are multiple offers. If you see a new property come on the market that you like you better not wait until the weekend to see it because it will probably be under contract by then providing that it is not outrageously over priced. If you are thinking of buying property in this area do not wait! Need financing? Gather those last 2 years of tax returns and w/2’s or 1099’s, at least 2 recent pay stubs and take advantage. Get that pre approval letter in hand to submit with offers! Yes I am saying offers because there are multiple offer situations out there and you may go through a few offers that you don’t get before you get one under contract. Take advantage of this awesome buyers market! Contact me and I will put you in touch with one of my preferred lenders if you don’t have one. Paying cash? Call me to discuss a proof of funds letter that you will need to submit with offers.

WASHINGTON – April 20, 2012 – It’s an old investment adage that remains true: “Buy low, sell high.”
National Association of Realtors® (NAR) President Moe Veissi, who served as Florida Realtors president in 2002, explains why conditions have never been better to buy a home in an online radio interview.
The Real Estate Today interview can also be forwarded through Facebook and Twitter to friends, family and clients.
Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc. in Miami, says today’s real estate market has “less folks looking, less inventory and more contracts working. … We’re just now seeing appreciation in real estate prices in some areas of the country. … This is a wonderful time to take advantage of interest rates that are lower than they’ve ever been.”
Veissi quotes investor Warren Buffet’s outlook on the current real estate market: “Warren Buffet appeared on CNBC about two weeks ago, and the young lady that was interviewing him asked where you should invest your money. Warren said, ‘If I had the capabilities, I’d buy 200,000 homes across this county … I think that housing in America today will outstrip the investment capabilities of the Wall Street blue chips over the longer term.”
