03/06/2010: Robin's
opinion of Market Conditions in
Hendersonville, Asheville, Brevard and Surrounding Local Area
|
|
The
strong buyers market continues
with a lot of inventory for buyers to choose
from including short sales and foreclosures.
Sellers continue to adjust their prices for
current market conditions. In any
event, all prices are negotiable.
This time of the year is generally slow but adding to it has
been the abnormal and unusually harsh winter snow and all other
forms of precipitation! Icy conditions have cancelled
numerous showings and I've been doing a lot of rescheduling for
my out of town clients.
Our local market has not shown much change from January and we
are looking forward to Spring.
There are some indications that the Fed may be thinking of
raising interest rates in the next few months. If that
occurs it would of course add a new equation to the market here
and everywhere else.
The current market offers great opportunities and it could be
very worthwhile for the consumer to check with the financial
folks to see how the tax breaks could benefit them.
Buyers continue to be more active and serious in their looking. Especially
popular are homes priced in the $200,000's to low $300,000's.
I've been very busy showing, listing properties and even writing
contracts.
Hendersonville and Western NC is a beautiful area that has a lot to offer
and if you are considering a real estate purchase it could be worth your while to come
take a look while inventory remains plentiful and prices low.
Why rent if you are in a position to purchase and take advantage
of the tax benefits?
Please email or call if I can
be of real estate service to you for info on our local market.

For info on the IRS
First Time/Existing Home Owners Tax Credit that applies for 2009 tax
purchases
visit here. From reading this guidance it appears that the
credit not only applies to site built/deeded property but to
manufactured housing on deeded or leased land as long as other
requirements are met. It is highly recommended you check with
a tax professional to see if your particular situation might apply
for this tax credit. |
