Portsmouth NH Real Estate

Times are shaky, times are rough and many people are still quivering in their boots wondering what our future will bring.  Just as we have done in the past, we will rebound.  It may take some time.  We might not begin to see some real normalcy for a few years.  Things are going to change, but change is necessary for growth.

You might have thought about a career in real estate in the past.  The market might look topsy turvy now, but that doesn't mean you have to wait it out before getting a real estate license.  Learning about real estate should be a prerequisite for any home potential homeowner anyhow. 

Think of it this way.  While many real estate agents are leaving the business, you could get in right when the market goes back up.

I am sure you have heard time and time again that it is a buyer's market, so why aren't people buying?  I think the heart of the matter lies with fear.  First time home buyers only see what is played out in the media over and over again.  All of these mortgage companies and banks are either folding and selling off their assets or they are being bailed out by the government.  It is enough to scare anyone away from getting a loan.  What many consumers do not realize is why these companies are closing, how mortgages are sold off in packages and backed by the stock market, and how the stock market decline is affecting this situation.  It doesn't mean that you can't get a mortgage, and it certainly doesn't mean that if you get a mortgage and your institution fails that you will lose your home.

Instead people think, "Well, I better wait for the economy to stabilize."

If this is you, just TALK to your real estate agent!  For a first time home owner, now could not be a better time to buy if you qualify for a loan.  You might not see home prices this low again after the market straightens itself back out.  And yes, I do feel that our economy will strengthen again.  Think of it as a natural ebb and flow.  We go up, we go down...and then we go back up.
