Time to Buy?

Time to Buy?

People ask me every day, is it really the time to buy Longboat Key real estate?

Here is what I know for sure. If you buy today, you won’t be buying at the top of the market; that is clearly in our past. I don’t know if you could get a better price in a month or two, though in many Longboat Key communities (particularly condominiums) there is very little inventory available.

If you are an investor, looking to flip a property, it probably is important to you to time the market and buy at the very best price. If, however, you are like most Longboat Key purchasers, you want a good value, and you are planning to own your home for 3-5 years or more. In that case, why would you wait? Take advantage of the increased selection available, negotiate a good purchase, and begin enjoying the lifestyle which you came here for!
