Ready, Set, Buy!



The Presidential election is over, holidays are over, fiscal cliff adverted, interest rates are at historic lows (today 3.375 for Conventional 30 year fixed, 2.875 for FHA 30 year fixed. Rates provided by Denny Donnelly, New Castle Home Loans, 515-421-9290). So what are you waiting for??? Now is the time to buy a home!

Data compiled from the Des Moines Area Association of Realtors MLS indicates our pricing trend for home values is currently at about what it was in 2007. As our housing market recovers prices will go up, inventory levels will continue to decrease, and the buyer’s market we have seen for several years will become a seller’s market. The Metro’s  inventory is down 13.3% from last year. Pending sales 2012 compared to pending sales 2011 was up 21%. So our market is definitely in recovery mode.

I predict 2013 will be a very active real estate market for the Des Moines area. As a buyer would you rather purchase a home in a buyer or seller’s market ~ you decide.
