&lt;/span&gt;For those first-time home buyers asking this question, there is more than one reason to seriously consider buying now:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;1.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It&amp;rsquo;s a buyers market.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;But what does that really mean?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;There is a lot of inventory on the market, and sellers are now, more than ever, willing to NEGOTIATE on what price they will accept for their home.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Buyers are looking for &amp;ldquo;deals&amp;rdquo; and if one particular seller is not willing to bargain, they can find another seller who is.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;2.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will prices continue to fall?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For properties that are not priced correctly, prices will definitely continue to fall.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;On the other hand, for listings that are priced accurately, this is not the case.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;According to statistics from the FAR, Florida Association of Realtors, all indicators point to the fact that on average prices have reached their lowest point.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many sellers are priced at or below what they paid for their properties and they simply cannot go any lower.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In many situations, sellers know that a $10-20,000 price reduction could bring them a contract for their property but this is simply not an option for many.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In the meantime, many sellers are having better luck renting their properties.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Of course everyone would love to sell their property right away, but renting it now can provide some well needed income for desperate sellers.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;3.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interest rates are at a 40 year low- NOW is the time to lock in your rate.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is a unique situation that will not last forever.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Historically, interest rates have always gone up following presidential elections.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;What does this mean for your buyers?&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s say the interest rates go up 1 point from this year until next.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For buyers mortgaging a $200,000 home, this increase would equate to an increase of $200 each month in their mortgage payment.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This is a steep increase for first-time home buyers that are already on a tight budget.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;4.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tax Benefits.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many renters do not realize all of the benefits to owning a home.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Among the many advantages, tax deductions are at the top of the list.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;All interest that you pay on your mortgage and all real estate tax that you pay for your property is tax deductible.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Additionally, a property tax reform of some sort will &amp;ldquo;almost definitely&amp;rdquo; pass this legislative session, according to officials of FAR, and this will provide some needed tax relief for Florida property owners.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" size="3"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.palmcoasthomesforsale.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=83268" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>OPEN HOUSE and COMMUNITY GARAGE SALE in Palm Coast Plantation</title><link>http://www.palmcoasthomesforsale.net/blogs/flaglerpalmcoastrealtor/archive/2007/03/26/open-house-and-community-garage-sale-in-palm-coast-plantation.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:01:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d96b0bd3-61a2-4a23-9aa2-5395d9777378:68966</guid><dc:creator>Kevin Orak</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.palmcoasthomesforsale.net/blogs/flaglerpalmcoastrealtor/comments/68966.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.palmcoasthomesforsale.net/blogs/flaglerpalmcoastrealtor/commentrss.aspx?PostID=68966</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When:&lt;/strong&gt;
