A couple of snow storms could not keep the Rockland faithful from snatching up all the good deals to be had in the stores as well in the real estate market. Friday saw our first real snow of the season and as usual sent Rocklanders scurrying about frantically for that last loaf of bread or gallon of milk on the shelves before we got snowed in for a week! At least that's what it seemed like.
On a serious note, with interest rates so low (as low as 5.00%) with some banks and prices at there lowest point in years buyers were trying to find the best deals in the market during a snow storm. I was busy all weekend showing homes to would be buyers who braved the inclement weather to look for a new home. The only things stopping this from being a really busy week in real estate is the Christmas holiday. My wife has already yelled at me because friday, saturday and sunday are already full of buyer showings.
This is a very smart time for buyers to buy right now, if you have been looking all summer without success well then your reward awaits you. Oh and by the way if you bought a house this summer and have a case of buyers remorse don't, yes someone might get a slightly better deal than you but the most important thing to remember is that we all buy or sell when we need or have to. Do not regret your decision because you also made a very safe buying decision.
A note to anyone selling their home right now, if a buyer wants to see your home during a snow storm be smart and invite them into your home. Besides the fact that they are serious and not your average "tire kicker" you get the chance to show them how comfy and cozy your home is on a miserable winter day. Think about this, if a buyers current living conditions were comfy, cozy, warm and inviting do you really think they would leave that to go house hunting? No way they want what you have so show it off any chance you get.
