Homebuyers Count the Cost
March 18, 2010 | No Comments | Blog
I take a look at the market and see that this is the best time for homebuyers to buy a home. I think through all of this mess that has been happening in this economy that some people have lost homes, but there is a generation of people that will be able to take advantage of this situation. To me as a human being I always try and learn from peoples mistakes so that I don’t make as many. There are lot of factors that I look at in this economy and how things happened. I do know that the economy took a major hit and many people lost jobs and that led to a lot of foreclosure’s. It is a lot to go through and you never want to see anybody take a hit like that. Though we can blame greed in the corporate world you always have to look at ourselves as well. It all starts within us just because people around us are doing it doesn’t make it right. America has been more than blessed as a nation in prosperity than any other. Lifestyles seem to have gotten away from people and their spending to much. People see movie stars taste and they develop that taste or their latest music artists. Whatever it may be. Spending seemed to take precedence over saving and that leads to lack. We need to get back to basics rather than adapt to the materialistic society that we live in today so that we can have comfort in our homes and spend more time with our families. Real Estate is an important decision in people’s lives and it can change the whole direction of your life regarding the choice you make while buying a home. You must know what your budget is before you go in rather than after. Know that on top of the mortgage is insurance, water, electric, up keep so on and so forth. That’s the same with kids before you have some make sure you can give them the things that they need. Count up expenses make a realistic choice when buying there are so many homes at a good price that you can buy and be able to have your life. I think the worst choice anybody can make is to put them in a grave right when they buy a house. As a realtor and investor my advice this week is sit down and count the cost realistically and know what you can do when purchasing. Count the costs of your living and the money that you have extra to save to make sure that the property that you buy is right for you. There is good debt and bad debt you can mortgage a property and plan to pay it down that would be good debt. You can start a business and of course it always takes debt to start a business that would be good debt. Bad debt would be financing furniture for one year at no interest. Why because what if something happens were you were tied up with money? If you don’t have it, don’t buy it. This year Macomb County real estate buyers not only take advantage of the market but be wise in what you do when you take advantage of it. Learn from what many are going through note the mistakes of a generation past.
