Have you ever purchased something from a store to later find out it was defective and feeling frustrated that you would have to return it or find out you couldn’t do to good ole “store policies”?

Home Sellers Everywhere…

July 31, 2008 · Nicole Machado · Comment here

Home sellers everywhere contemplate whether now is the time to “move up” the real estate ladder and upgrade. Some think they can’t afford to move up because they have lost equity in their current home since the market has taken a turn. When in fact they haven’t lost anything in all actuality. If it wasn’t time for you to sell your home when you had that supposed “equity” well then you never had it at all. If you wait to “move up” the cost of your new home will cost more. You want to upgrade when prices are down so your new mortgage is more affordable and while interest rates are still at hystorical lows. Sellers put your buyers hat on… think like a buyer and not like a seller, in the end you’ll be happy you did!
