Montgomery County Maryland Real Estate Market Report Spring 2014 [infographic]

Montgomery County Real Estate Market Report

Most homeowners across Montgomery County in Maryland have been enjoying an upswing in their home values, and home-sale prices are expected to continue rising for at least the next several months.
Spring is here - buyers and sellers are on their way to be more active.
Interest rates still are under an affordable 5% rate that will be watched closely in 2014. An upswing in interest rates could be very harmful to our  young real estate market recovery.


If you are looking to buy in 2014, our recommendation is to start early rather than later. Interest rates are very fragile in our market right now and could change dramatically at any time.
If you are looking to sell in 2014, our recommendation is to be realistic and don't take chances on the marketing of your home plus the pricing, These two elements goes together hand on hand for a successful sale.
Remember, in Montgomery County Maryland for 2013.... 25.1 of listings did not sell and went expired...that is one out of four houses!

  First Time Home Buyer's Secrets For Maryland Residents 

The Only Two Steps you must take when buying your first home....

Realizing the benefits of Home Ownership

Renting is normal and it fits some lifestyles. .no one should pressure you to rent or buy

I'm sure you are tired of hearing the same messages over and over again. .I can assure you, you will not hear it from us.

               

As I  respect your decision whether to rent or buy. .

I presume the reason why you are here reading this is because 

becoming a homeowner is important to you.

You've come to right place then. .

These are the two steps I would take if I was buying a home for the first time

STEP #1 (DO THIS TO SAVE $$$$$) 

Determining if home ownership  is what you are really after.

Renting in some cases may be  better for you.

If you are planning to move within 2 years, perhaps buying a home is not a good idea

If you are required to put a sizable amount for down payment to ignore credit problems. .home ownership may not be a good idea. .you may prefer to repair and fix issues on your credit first.

The question to ask yourself  is what are your long-term goals are 

and 

 how home ownership fits in with those plans. 

Don't  just buy  because your friend are telling you that you are wasting your money if you are renting. .

Or you see home ownership as a sign of their independence and enjoy the idea of proving someone you care for that you can be a homeowner as well. 

Narrowing down the real reasons why you would like to be a homeowner will help the person or person you elect to help you down this path

As soon as you pick an specialist that understand the reasons and has a complete understanding of your financial and credit situation, . .only then you can go on to the next step
