Charleston AFB – Thinking of Selling? NOW is the TIME!
Charleston AFB – Thinking of Selling? NOW is the TIME!
Many recent reports show that home values have increased slightly this past quarter. BUT remember…..prices are determined by supply and demand.
While it is true that demand has increased….the supply of homes is being impacted by legal issues. The number of foreclosures coming to the Charleston AFB market has slowed dramatically by the courts as the banks continue to struggle with paperwork. This inventory (i.e. YOUR COMPETITION) will eventually find its way to the market and most likely have a negative impact on home values.
This diagram helps explain what is happening (courtesy of the KCM Group):

Selling Your Home in the Charleston AFB Market
Selling Your Home in the Charleston AFB Market
According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2010 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the number one thing a seller wants from their real estate agent is “help pricing the home competitively”. So let the battle of wits begin…….
Who’s Telling the Truth?
Adding to the confusion is chances are you have met at least one agent who readily agreed with your price and promised you a ‘quick sale’…. Sound familiar? Is this agent telling the truth or just trying to get the listing?
Remember……. A professional real estate agent will tell you everything you need to know. Ask questions – LOTS of them, and expect answers! An experienced real estate agent should be able to defend their price recommendations and provide you with market comparisons. An experienced real estate agent will be patient, honest, and open – and not simply tell you what you want to hear.

In
today’s ever changing and somewhat confusing housing market, most Charleston Military
families rely on a professional real estate agent when it’s time to sell their
home.
According to the National Association of Realtors’ 2010 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, the number one thing a seller wants from their real estate agent is “help pricing the home competitively”. So let the battle of wits begin…….
Who’s Telling the Truth?
As the seller, you want to sell your home for the
highest price possible…And a professional real estate agent wants to sell your
home for the highest price possible….
Unfortunately, what you think your home is worth may not be in line with
current Charleston AFB market conditions. When an agent attempts to tell you that your home may be
‘overpriced’, you may be skeptical….Is the agent telling you the truth or just
trying to low ball the price to make a quick commission?
Adding to the confusion is chances are you have met at least one agent who readily agreed with your price and promised you a ‘quick sale’…. Sound familiar? Is this agent telling the truth or just trying to get the listing?

Charleston AFB– Knowing if NOW is the TIME to BUY a HOME
Charleston
AFB– Knowing
if NOW is the TIME to BUY a HOME
We’ve all heard the
saying “Sell High, Buy Low” – and this is obviously great advice. The hard part is – knowing when the price has
hit bottom……
Today we are seeing more
evidence that the COST of a home in the Charleston AFB
area, has in fact hit bottom. Unless you
are an all cash buyer, you must take into consideration the expense of
financing a property to determine the true cost of purchasing the home.
Interest rates have increased over the last quarter; and the rise in rates has
counteracted any fall in prices.
For example:
In November 2010, the
interest rate was 4.17%. So a $200,000 Charleston AFB home
would have cost you $974.54 per
month (principle and interest).
According to a recent report from Case Shiller, house prices fell 3.9% in the 4th quarter of 2010. A recent report from the Federal
Housing Finance Agency showed a 0.8% fall in prices.
Let’s use the larger percentage decrease: 3.9%.
Today, let’s say the same
Charleston AFB area house
as above is now priced at $192,000 – but the interest rate is now 4.95%. – SO your monthly payment will now be $1,067.54 (principle and interest).
By waiting to pay
less for the PRICE of the house, the COST increased $93 a month. That adds up
to $1,116 a year and over $33,000 over the life of the loan.
Bottom Line
If you want to buy low,
buy now. It appears COST may have hit its lowest point.
