How many times have you said “I should have bought that stock”….after learning that the stock doubled or tripled in price.  Remember when Google stock IPO’d for $80?  If only we all bought shares then.  Today that same stock is worth $510.  Although I can’t guarantee the same returns in real estate, now is the time that you CAN be able to buy and KNOW you bought at the right time.  Several reasons include:  Continued Historically low interest rates, 1^st time Home buyer credit (if you qualify), reduce priced inventory, foreclosures, auctions, etc.  There’s no guarantee that the rates will remain low or that the tax credit will be extended…so why not test the waters to see what kind of deals are out there.  There are some amazing deals out there!!! Don’t take a risk and say “I should have purchased when I had a chance”.  That time is now!  Take advantage of this buyers market today!
