Happy New Year!

Now that the holidays are over it's time to get serious about your Real Estate plans for 2012. This year is predicted to be a better year for seller's which can be good news for both the buyer and the seller.

For the buyer a better sales year means that you should start your search NOW. Prices and interest rates are still very low making a purchase an excellent way to start the new year. If things do pick up this year you will begin to see prices increase over the next 12 months making starting the search early in the new year critical to getting the most home for your money. Have your real estate agent send you e-mailed new listings in the area and price range you are hoping to make you purchase in.

For the seller a better sales year means that you should start preparing you home for market and keep an eye on current sales and listings in your neighborhood so when you are ready you have a good idea of the sales value of your home. The easyist way of doing this is to contact a real estate agent and ask to have new listings and sold homes sent to you weekly via e-mail.

The best stratagy for both the buyer and seller is to keep informed of the market in your area so you know when the time is right for you to make a move.
