I saw a sign recently that said, “The best time to buy a house was 20 years ago. The second best time is now!”. This is so true, and in another 20 years (or even 5 or 10 years) people will be wishing they’d bought their home today.
If it’s your plan to buy your first home, upgrade to your next or invest in property, start looking now. The real estate selling season is ramping up with a big increase in properties for sale, and more expected to go on the market as the weather warms up.
You might need to get creative on how you buy, particularly if you’re just getting into the market for the first time. First home buyers might need to think about buying an investment property in a cheaper area. Upgraders need to get really clear on the “must haves” and “nice to haves”. Investors need to make sure all the numbers add up. Whatever has to happen, get moving!
Anything I can help you with, please call or email. I’m still on leave until 4th October, but have access to my emails and phone, and Tanya is holding down the fort in the office while I’m away.
