Shoud You Buy a House  NOW?

With prices increasing in the DC area for several years now, and many buyers being priced out of some neighborhoods, buyers are asking us daily, should I just wait out the market?  Is now the right time to buy?  Well, putting aside the philosophical question  if it is a wise idea to ask a surgeon if you should get a surgery...  Let me explain the most important reason you should buy now!

Low Interest Rates
Interest rates today have (almost) never been lower.  If you have good credit and a decent downpayment you can borrow money at a rate lower than most countries... Really!  look it up.

We must be going crazy. What are we doing?  We here are Abbott Klar Real Estate Group consistently offer half of our commission, as listing agents, to any buyer agent that brings the buyer who buys one of our listings.  Why would we do that?  Why not just sell it ourselves and make twice as much?

Because our clients come first!

When we work as Listing agents we are hired by the sellers to market the property and help the seller get the best price and terms for the seller.  The goal of the buyer agent is the exact opposite.  A Buyer agent works for the buyer (even though in most cases they are paid by the seller) to get the buyer the best price and terms on the property. 

A sale and purchase of a home is a big deal, and we find that everyone is happier
