Purchasing real estate is no laughing matter – whether the economy’s doing well or it’s experiencing recession. It’s a well-known fact that buyers are in a better position to purchase real estate during a recession. However, there are still some risks involved.

So how do you make sure you’re still getting the best real estate deal during the recession times? Here are some tips that you can make use of:

Determining whether you have gotten yourself a good deal in buying real estate, or simply just about anything, depends on your priorities. My years as a Realtor have taught me one thing for certain, all of us have different priorities, that’s a fact.

So if you’d like to make sure you satisfy yourself, get your own expectations in check. Creating a checklist can help you here. Finding a property to buy with a checklist handy can greatly facilitate the process.

I definitely advice about the importance of knowing your priorities and recommend that you create a checklist to guide your decisions. However, flexibility can also get you a long way. Be objective with your judgments and take a hard look at the property you are considering for your purchase.

Think hard and see if you are actually being too choosy to the point of being impractical. Would you like fancy or functional? Is it comfy or uber-elegant? How about trying to meet in the middle? Have you asked for suggestions from family or friends with experience? Do they agree with you?

Although you do not need to wipe your slate clean and accommodate all their opinions, are your expectations realistic enough… and what about your budget? Remember it is recession. Naturally, as a Realtor I can research many of the variables that help you consider your options. There’s no downside to taking advantage of this free service.

Many think that since it is recession, they can just buy and buy and buy properties. Although many property sellers are usually on the lower part of the scale during these times, not all deals are the best ones. You still need to be as careful as ever in purchasing real estate. My listings cover a wide range of choices, and I have access to literally thousands more. Should your schedule open we can set an appointment for a tour that will blow your mind. The market is absolutely perfect for great values at this point.

Many would pursue a short sale trying to grab a good deal. However, before you buy a property with a price that seems too low for the location, check with me about the areas and properties you’ve thought about. I can investigate to make sure you have all the facts. This is important since you should not just make an offer on a pre-foreclosure, short sale property.

Home sellers do know that during a recession, they may not be able to sell their properties for a better price. This means that they would have to wait longer to put their home out on the market. There may be properties for sale, but they get bought quicker, too. It would be helpful if you are prepared enough to make a purchase without dilly-dallying if you really are into it.

Your decision should not be clouded in buying a property. Always shop for the lowest price, which fortunately is more attainable during recession for buyers. However, do not forget that the lowest-priced property is not necessarily the best one.

In summary, there are some advantages to buying a home during recession. However, if you do not really have the budget or are not that well-educated in the real estate industry, do not feel pressured to jump in. There is still time for research and planning to help you make the best choice for the one decision that is a most important investment of your life.

If you know anything about Realtors, you know we can talk about houses and real estate for hours, like most people talk about sports or their families:)

Well my goal is not to bore you, instead I’d like to share something that might just excite you.

In this business, and more importantly, at this point in the Jacksonville home market, the name of the game is timing and opportunity. I’ll get right to the point…

Homes that have been on the market for a long period are being reduced and the time to purchase, especially in Jacksonville Beach, could not be better. Those who try to time the market’s lowest point, traditionally miss out on the buys of a lifetime. We’re at that point with this home I’d like to show you.

You see the picture so you know what’s on the block. The property is being sold As-Is. Here are the details:

The price has been reduced because the seller means business. “Motivated seller” can often be used as a tactic or buzz word. With this seller, it’s just the plain truth.

This is an real opportunity on a real estate winner for any savvy buyer. The property is zoned commercial/residential. The options list is nothing less than robust with this Commercially Zoned Parcel. You’ll have tons of potential, mainly based on the location.

If your interest is building to your own design, make the call. If your preference is a well timed investment that’s close enough to the market bottom to make a decision, make the call.

My cell phone is always at my side, and you’ll find, I talk just like I write. My focus is providing facts you can check. I don’t believe in hype and misdirection. The truth stands the test of time and it’s how I prefer to build my reputation. My number is 904-910-0203…make the call and let’s chat.

Ciao,
Larry
