So are homes selling now? YOU BET THEY ARE! Our biggest problem is running out of home TO SELL.

I'm asked over and over again - "Is the market really as good as I'm hearing?"

Yes it is.  In many markets it is heating up fast.  One reason is that buyers have more options to purchase a home.  Credit scores can be as low as 620.  Obviously other considerations also play a role but buyers have options that were not previously available even 12 months ago.

A second reason is the interest rates.  They are unbelievably low.  All the concerns about rates increasing have not at this writing take place.  They have actually gone down several times.  This means buyers can afford more home because they will have a lower payment.


There are many programs out there that benefit certain buyer groups to include the "Hero" program for firefighters, police officers and other heroes, as well as a program for Doctors and other medical professionals.  Contact us to get additional info!

Are you considering putting your home on the market?  Thinking about buying while you can still purchase more home for your money?  Contact me today, Lee Hisey, at 440-315-6000 or LeeHisey@howardhanna.com.  Let my team go to work for you!
