Most of my current clients are first time home buyers from around the country.  I have had the opportunity over the last several years to close over 400 transactions.  I have never seen such a great opportunity for first time or move up home buyers!  There are great deals out there in every price range. 

 

My fear is that as we get closer to the expiration date of the first time home buyer’s tax credit on November 30th, the competition will get hotter for the most affordable homes. 

 

Recently I have seen the most outstanding deals available in the Tampa areas in these areas:

 

1. 100% USDA Rural home loan program in Mid to Eastern Pasco county
2. Foreclosures are great deals if you can find one in good condition
3. Short sales are also good, and the banks will sometimes pay closings costs and/or make repairs, if needed.
4. Luxury homes and second homes: loan options are not favorable for these types of properties, therefore if you can qualify, you can get a really nice deal.

 

I have several listings in move-in condition that are traditional sales by owners with equity.  This will give you the opportunity to ask for closing costs, have a quick closing and not have to do any work after closing.  Ask to see my listings!

 

Remember it’s a buyer’s market!  The deals are out there, let me help you find them.
