Purchasing new construction in the current market conditions requires more research and due diligence than would be required in a stronger market. The cost of building materials and labor is down so it's a very good time to buy, but be careful. You must know trends and values in each neighborhood to make an intelligent decision. 864-420-0262

I received the phone call I had been waiting on Friday. We had made an offer, the seller made a counter offer, we made a counter offer, and the Seller made another counter offer. We said no thank you, but I left the door open for the Seller to call if they changed their mind. We were only about $5,000 apart on a large transaction, but my Right Price Analysis and the current market conditions allowed us to be patient. My Client was anxious and ready to accept the Sellers last number. Each day I called the Client to update them and discuss our negotiating strategy. When the listing agent called on the fifth day to agree to our last offer, I was gracious and professional, but they should have accepted it earlier. Patience can be your friend in the right circumstances, but it can also cost you the right house if you don't know the market! Keith

It's neat, but I can provide a more comprehensive and detailed market analysis in a ten minute telephone conversation. Interest rates are low, inventory is high, and if you know who, what, where, when, and how to buy, there are some great opportunities right now!
