The Greatest Market Ever

Ahh the great American life. Where everyone has the opportunity to set and reach their Goals. One of the true blessings of this country and certainly a very real and obtainable goal is one of Home Ownership. But wait isn’t this a horrible time to buy? Every where you look in newspapers, magazines, and on Television and Radio the overwhelming cry is one of despair.

Certainly I am not going to try to tell you that in some markets that it is a fabulous time to Sell your home. I have many friends across this nation that are truly suffering and are faced with some hard decisions specifically when it comes to selling their home. And as hard as it is to see them faced with those tough decisions their plight opens up opportunities for Buyer’s.

For the past several years the escalating real estate market that we were in, I witnessed many people who wanted to buy a home but were unable to as they had been priced out of the market. The lowest prices available were above what they could afford to buy. But today we are in a more Normal Market, and it seems to me that there should be a lot of opportunities for a good deal more buyer’s than there have been in the recent past.

If you believe in all the hype and wait til the market turns around, and believe me it will just as it has for ever and ever, you will miss your opportunity to buy in what should be this decades Greatest Market Ever for Buyer’s.

  1. Dear Flippers,

    We have been looking for a good deal on a flip in the metro SW and close-in SE Portland, OR but have not found much.
    Do you know of any local listing companies?
    We do not want a realtor and prefer dealing directly with the seller or bank REO.
    Any information would help!

    Sincerely,

  2. Sweetsm,

    Looking for any good deal and recognizing a good deal are often at opposite ends of the spectrum, especially if you continue to handicap yourself. When looking for any needle in the proverbial haystack you would be best served by looking through the entire stack not just the portion of the stack that you can reach without moving or bending over.
