MOVING UP IN 2010

2010 looks to be an even better time to buy a home here in NKY. The mortgage rates are projected to stay low through the first half of the year, couple that with another wave of foreclosures and that makes for a wonderful opportunity to move up in home and possibly even keep the same payment you have now. Every week there are homes hitting the market for $10,000 - $60,000 less than what these homes have sold for in the past. That is a great situation to move to that community you've always wanted to live in but couldn't afford. (My family is preping our home for sale as I type.) If you are ready to make a move there are 4 important steps you need to take to make the most out of this market:

GOAL = to move up in home & to the community you desire --- REMAIN FOCUSED

1) Call SOZO Realty now, Chris will write out a plan to get your home ready to SELL not just be listed. Some plans will take upto 3 months to get the home ready so it is important you call months in advance, I've been slowly painting my own home since November. Chris will be honest, and unfortunately will say things you may not like or want to hear, that is a sure sign that he's focused, and working for you and not just trying to get the listing. Chris will also put you in touch face to face with an experienced lender to set up the financial side of the plan: the net from this sale & the best mortgage option for the purchase

2) Put the plan in action! get your family, friends, & small group involved with the plan and after one area is complete, call Chris over to review the plan and to help keep it moving forward. This can prove to be wonderful quality family & friend time together, remember you'll owe them one, but again another project full of even more quality time. If you get stuck....call me, I'll shoot right over to help get it on track!! I have a list of area professional as well, electricians, roofers ect. that may be helpful to you.

3) SELLERS REALITY - in this market not only are forclosures great to buy, but unfortunately they have knocked down the price of your current home. Be aware that possibly the most important part of your plan is to MOVE. This means that the $20,000 you were hoping to net a few years ago may have been reduced to nothing and a few savy buyers have brought a little money to the closing to sell their current home so they can reach their ultimate goal...to move on.

4)The home must be price at or below the current competition. Chris will set up a time prior to listing your home, to walk through the Pending homes & extensively study the recent Sold homes similar to your home to make sure we price the home accurately.

So what to do now?? call Chris Landers & have I'll come on over for around 30 minutes to discuss your 2010 goals & make them mine!

Thanks for reading & please if you know anyone else I can help, just have them call!
