The Real Estate Market seems to finally be changing!  People are realizing that it is a great time to sell their homes and move into something bigger, smaller or whatever meets their current needs.  As of Today, Bird Realty has more lisitings than they have in months and they are all priced to sell.  If you were thinking about selling your home or looking for a home and moving out of that apartment, the Mortgage companies are loosening and the interest rates are great.  So, what better time than now to make the move.  If you have any questions or would like to see what your home is worth, call a Bird Realty agent  today at 723-2104 and we will help you with all of your real estate needs.

Well, as you look around your hometown you might see a lot of for sale signs out on peoples front lawns.  This is a good thing for all of you who are interested in purchasing a home.  The supply vs. demand concept that you learned in High School economics plays a part in todays market.  There are many homes that have been on the market for many days and they are ready for you to purchase them at a great price.  Most homes have had a reduction in price since their initial listing date and that is a good thing for the buyers out there.  Also, how can you beat rates of around 5%.  If you are a first time home buyer, there is a great incentive to buy right now, and that is the federal tax credit program that is part of the economic stimulus package.  if you are a first time home buyer, you can receive an $8000 return on your taxes in 2009.  You will never have to pay that back either!!  What a deal.  If you want to know more about this, leave a comment and I will speak on this topic in depth.  If you want to know if you qualify to purchase a home, give me a call and I will point you in the right direction.  I hope everyone is having a great week and enjoying a bit of March Madness as I am.  GO SIENA!!

Today is the start of the Bird Realty Blog and I hope that we can start a great running conversation about real estate.  I am ready for your questions, so go ahead and ask.
