MarketWATCH Northridge 22 January 2016
We've been running into a lot of folks who are debating buying a home right NOW. We can almost bet that you're getting (unsolicited) advice from friends, family, co-workers... the mailman. It's all well-intentioned I'm sure, but are they aware of your real needs AND what's happening in the market?
We've come up with 3 questions that will help you figure out FOR YOURSELF if now is actually a good time for YOU to buy in today’s market. And we'll ask them of you, over the next 3 weeks.
The first is KEY.
1. Why am I buying a home in the first place?
This truly is the most important question to answer. Forget the finances for a minute. Why did you even begin to consider buying a home? A recent survey suggests that, for most, the reason has nothing to do with money. They are: · A good place to raise children and for them to get a good education · A place where you and your family feel safe · More space for you and your family · Control of that space
What does owning a home mean to you? What will you gain from owning a home? The answer to that question should be the biggest reason you decide to buy.
As you consider the question, let's take a look at what's happening in our local real estate market this week.
This week in Northridge, we saw 11 listings added, ranging in price from $299,000 - $1,050,000 and in size from 988 sf - 4,000 sf. Years built ranged from 1951 - 1995.
