Central Valley Residential Sales

Its November and the Fall weather has reved into full swing. I always receive calls as Fall begins from Sellers and Buyers alike.They are all asking the same question.Is this a good time to move? Selling? Buying? Or should I wait until the weather warms up? The answer that I give to both buyers and sellers is the same. Right now is a great time to purchase.Why? Because prices usually drop slightly as the weather gets cooler.This is primarily due to the fact that most families chose to purchase previous to the beginning of the school year. Additionally families prefer to move when the climate is warm. For buyers this gives great value in addition to having a larger variety of homes to choose from. The reverse is also true for sellers. Homes are still moving faster than they were in the years of foreclosure and short sale frustration. And each home may see several offers.The homes selling 3 days after listing, has slowed down a little. There is definitely more of a selection available to potential buyers at this time. But here is what most sellers do not think about. Are you planning on purchasing a replacement property? If so this may still be the optimal time for you to act.Dont wait until all of the other buyers and sellers are moving property in the spring time.Eliminate the competition and get the better deal without the severe pressure ina bidding war. Hopefully this is post assists you in understanding the correct timing for selling or purchasing. If you have any questions regarding any home sells dont hesitate to call.

Real Estate purchase Transaction Flow-Tracy Realtor

For those of you that prefer visual concepts,  I have prepared a simple flow chart that illustrates the key steps involved in the purchase of real estate. 

This illustration is designed to provide buyers with a road map to ownership from begining to end, it is not a detailed list of everything that occurs in a transaction.

I realize there may be some variance from state to state as some states are non-escrow states, but the overall process is generally the same.

If you have any recommedations or see anything that I may have missed please let me know. 

Lastly, If you'd like a PDF copy of this, please feel free to email me.
