If you don’t get the deal let someone else take the hit. There is desperation in the market place and it IS a BUYER’S MARKET. The professionals tune out the bad financial news and move out of the living room and put some serious cash to work. A year ago sellers would laugh bottom feeder buyers out of town. No one is laughing now. The continued muse of desperate sellers is “where have all the buyers gone?” They’re right here babies! The Contrarians are on the beachhead and moving in. The maddening crowd is on the sidelines wondering if it might be time to put their toe in the water. When the temperature of the water is just right, it will be too late. The deals are here and now.

A short time ago as the real estate market was topping out and multiple buyers were backed up to buy one property suddenly that same property has little attraction. Sellers were left scratching their head and wondering “What happened?” During this period little or no buyer’s closing cost were paid by the buyer, no seller held second mortgages would be considered and the idea of the seller fixing any deficiencies in the property was discarded out of hand. Such are the perils in a “Seller’s Market”. The purchase contracts were written “AS-IS, WHERE-AS” because that was what the sellers were demanding and could get it.
Investors would dream of getting a great deal but had little opportunity to buy. Now with the ether wearing off, it is very possible to find those deals with lots of seller help. The fog is lifting and the vision for opportunities is clearing up. With all the positive news going on, the foreclosure market is ticking up. Many of the loans utilizing creative financing with built in rate increases such as in an Option ARM or a 2/28 ARM where now the rates are spiraling up have precipitated defaults.
