Capital Area
Buy Now...Ask me why!
You may have seen the little
buttons REALTORS® in the Capital Area are wearing these
days. When you see one, ask the question: “Why should I buy
real estate today?” And listen to all the reasons you will
be given. Here are just a few:
All Real Estate is Local. Local market conditions are
oftentimes different from what’s happening nationally. The
Capital Area housing market was very active in 2007 with
home prices performing favorably even though sales were off
about 5 percent from 2006. The median home sale price has
demonstrated consistent but modest year-over-year gains for
the past ten years. Home sales have also consistently
increased over the past ten years as well with the exception
of 2007 which finished at levels near 2004.
Great Selection. Current market conditions offer a great
supply of homes to choose from. This may not be the case if
inventories of existing homes, which are at near historical
highs, decrease and sales pick up. Now you can have just
exactly what you want. You don’t have to settle for less
than your dream home. Buy now!
Low Mortgage Rates. There are a variety of safe mortgage
products at near historically low rates. A variety of
mortgage loans exist for those credit-worthy borrowers. With
very favorable mortgage rates and a wide range of available
inventory this is without question an excellent time to buy.
Buy now!
Very Affordable. Homes in the Capital Area provide an
outstanding value and our community is regularly cited in
national affordability studies. The Capital Area’s median
sale price is less than half that of the state of Illinois
median price. Modest prices coupled with modestly increasing
income levels make for an affordable market. Because our
market hasn’t experienced the huge swings that areas of the
East and West coast have, we don’t expect prices to decrease
which is why the time to act is now. Buy now!
For consumers considering buying or selling a home, there is
no one better informed than a local neighborhood REALTOR®.
So when you see the REALTOR® button, get all the rest of the
answers on why you should BUY NOW! And be sure you are
working with a real estate professional who is a member of
the Capital Area Association of REALTORS®.
