Greater Lansing home buyers and sellers can begin to smile as real estate sales continue to perk up over last year and the market begins to bottom out. I would consider a strong 4th quarter coming up to buy or sell real estate in the Greater Lansing area real estate market.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the housing market momentum has clearly turned for the better. “The recovery is broad-based across many parts of the country. Housing affordability has been at record highs this year with the added stimulus of a first-time buyer tax credit,” he said.
NAR estimates that about 1.8 to 2.0 million first-time buyers will take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit this year, with approximately 350,000 additional sales that would not have taken place without the credit. Buyers have little time to act because they must complete the transaction by November 30 to qualify for the credit. Unless extended, contracts signed but not completed by that date will not be eligible – it is taking approximately two months to complete home sales in the current market.
Buying or selling a home in today’s greater Lansing, Michigan real estate market can be complicated without having the proper expertise and guidance throughout the process. Community information - about services, restaurants, parks, things to do, tourist information, local government and issues, buildings, and development projects, are only a few of the many services you should expect from your Realtor. You can obtain additional information on buying and selling at my website.

Selling your home is an involved process that affects your family and your future. Before you begin this process, you’ll want to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information. When should you sell? How do you get the best price? What kinds of renovations should be made prior to the sale?
These home selling reports will assist you in answering the many questions that arise during the home selling process. When you’re armed with the right information, and an experienced real estate professional, you’ll be closer to reaching your goal - selling your home fast, and for the best price.

Thinking of buying a home in Holt, Michigan, Delhi Township? Here’s your key to home-ownership for today's real estate market and a few tools to help you  become more prepared for the American dream of owning a house.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched a new Web site to assist home-buyers with improving financial literacy, sustaining healthy home-ownership and achieving financial security. This is a great resource for anyone who wants to improve their financial situation.
Even before you begin looking for a home, the home-buying process requires diligent preparation. Buyers who have been approved in advance for a home loan often have their offers taken more seriously by sellers. The key is buying with the intention to hold long term. Property ownership equity accounts for more than half the wealth in the United States. It is never a bad time to buy real estate. Start your search for homes here. NAR offers a FREE step by step guide for home buyers.
In addition to the above, I encourage you to visit my home buyers tool kit page and Buying Services for Greater Lansing Area Home Buyers.
You’ll be joining the ranks of hundreds of families who realize that home ownership offers a number of benefits including building equity, saving for the future, and creating an environment for your family. Start your dream today, by becoming well prepared. Selling your home also requires well thought out preparation.
