The last horrah of summer is only 2 days away! But does that mean its time to stop looking??? On the contrary, its the perfect time to buy! In fact i was on city-data.com today and its a great site to get stats on any city (or you can use zip code) in the country. Housing price and sales trends, population, and other demographics. I was looking at the myrtle beach area and Brunswich Coutny like calabash and surrounding areas in NC & SC. Buyers, you need to be buying now with the floor in price levels here (before it starts trending upward again in 2009). And sellers, if you bought in 2004 or earlyer, what a great time to sell and upgrade to a better property!! Let Eagle Realty help and we look forward to working with you soon!
stable...let's look at the possible ramifications of not lowering key interest rates again. Battle inflation...good. Bring stability to our market where everyone is waitin for a "floor" in all aspects...good. Keep banks from hiking up the mortgage rate to keep from losing more money...good. All in all, this comes back to a confidence issue that all buyers need to see. Now is a time to buy and you beeter buy if you have been wanting to because the bus is about to turn around and head in the vertical, climbing direction. Ask your local Eagle Realty Realtor how we can help...
In the midst of the sensationlism that the papers and media try to sell to you the American public that all is lost and hope is gone, i would hope you make the drastic yet rational and logical decision to turn off the news and lay down the paper and take a look around. Now i am not nieve enough to think all of us are in the perfect situation in life, but if you are reading this you must have a computer with an internet connection and are probably sitting with a roof over your head. A car in your driveway, though you may not drive it as much anymore, and a snack or meal within reach. We are blessed and we should notice. The real estate market is no different...are sales less than 2005 or maybe even this time last year? Yes. Are SALES more than this past winter 2008...YES!! Is it a great time to get deals? YES! Is inventory decreasing slightly in some areas? YES! Are rates still low enough to take advantage of? YES! Did gas drop by a few cents this past weekend? YES!! I just thought you needed a few YES's in your day! Know this, real estate is cyclical...it is always a sound investment over time (key words) and it is a great time to buy! Don't let people control your decisions or mindset...take a look around for yourself.
Hi, this is Chris Ward BIC/Owner of Eagle Realty...i have been out of town this last week. Now most assume vacation, but to be honest, it was far from a vacation. Now maybe the state of mind was in that mode, but as a part time youth minister, a mission trip with 13 teenage youth to Florida is kinda far from a relaxing vacation...now dont get me wrong, i LOVED THE TRIP!! But, lets be honest, a vacation it was not. Of course that brings a point up about vacation...this summer has been hurt significantly in the Myrtle Beach area when it comes to vacation traffic. Being a drive in destination, gas prices have hit hard our tourist traffic. While we are busy on the weekends some, our week long vacationers have slowed alot...and gas doesnt seem to be the only factor. People just dont like escaping from work or activities for a lengthy time anymore. Time is a higher priced commodity than anything else now adays it seems. What we do with our time is important...lets make sure we use it wisely cause we can never get it back...and a vacation or retreat can be very wise in our fast paced world!
Now how can the real estate market be down with the highest ever single-family residential sale in the country?? Donal Trumps home in West Palm Beach (or should i say estate) closes at $100 million dollars. I have seen the estate up close and personal and what a beauty. In comparison, why spend that kind of money when in Myrtle Beach, SC Eagle Realty can get you ocean front for under $1,500,000 (or much less for a condo)* The best deals on the Grand Strand in Myrtle Beach, look for the Eagle, Eagle Realty. You need local experts who know the area and can help you find the best property for you or sell your current home. Call or email Eagle Realty today!!
