After a good run of a buoyant Sellers' real estate market the pendulum and power has just shifted to the Buyers' side!

If you are a first time Buyer it is a great time to negotiate your way into home ownership. Just like Boxing Day sales, the deals are better now than they have been through good economic times. So instead of buying that big screen plasma TV, computer or new sofa, it's time to invest in a piece of real estate right now! The added bonus for you is that interest rates are at rock bottom!

If you are a home owner looking to upsize or downsize, you are trading in the same market, therefore the market conditions are irrelevant. Your best move is to sell first and then go shopping to negotiate a great deal.

If you are exiting home ownership, perhaps you might consider hanging in there for now or in the alternative, you may consider keeping your home and rent it out until that market comes around. We can help you with that as well as we are advocates in keeping a real estate as a long term asset and an investment, it will always be worth more tomorrow.

They say that history repeats itself and that's so true, real estate has withstood and performed much better than any alternative investment vehicle out there, and just think you can live in it while it appreciates.
