Gary Barker Real Estate: August 2010

Buy Now....At great low prices.

The last week of August has been a little slow. Lack of confidence in the economy has given some pause. Just the other day I heard a small business owner say he was postponing many of his business decisions until after November. This is a trend that has repeated itself many times. If a person gets the result from the election that they hoped for they will move forward. If they don't they realize that it is, what it is and that they can't wait forever, so they move forward anyway. The real estate market will experience a surge after the election. There will be more buyers in the market then. This will improve the seller's position. For this reason, now is the best time for the buyer. Visit gary-barker.com to explore buying your home now. Feel free to call 252 635 1100 at anytime.
