Why should I buy a home?
Reasons for Not buying a home~ I am continually baffled at the reasons why ( especially, what would be first time buyers) , folks are choosing to pay rent at a higher cost than owning a home and
reasons include:
I am waiting for prices to bottom out- guess what? they have
I really don't know much about maintenance and that scares me- yup, either did your parents when they purchased, get a good home inspection company and they can give you tips and information on how to maintain your new place.
Its too much work looking at properties. Really? with the right right agent, it can actually be exciting.
I am not sure I can afford to buy one. - with interest rates STILL at a very low historical rate, check with a Qualified Loan Officer and get the ball rolling, and yes, you will need to supply a lot of information and paperwork, but you are buying a home ( not a car) and at the end of the process you will have achieved the American Dream.
I frequently read articles on the market, and found this keeping Current Matters article straight and to the point, so take a quick look and see why Buying is a smart Financial Move

"salable listing"
I have been reading reading a lot about "lack of salable listing inventory, " and agree with this observation in the R.I. real estate market, also observing that most buyers now have demands that dropped by the wayside during the boom. So, if you are a seller in todays market, the best advice as a realestate professional I could give is to prepare your home for the market and bring your best foot forward when staging,cleaning,and preaparing for the market. make your home a salable listing.- Liz Kettelle

Rhode Island Real Estate on the RISE!
Yes, its true, according to the Rhode Island Association of Realtors,
Home sale prices are up 5% from one year ago and we currently have a 6 month
supply of properties on the market (down from the 8 month supply of a year ago).
This is good news because a 6 month supply is the neutral zone for buyer and seller. (A Good market for both). Under 6 months becomes a sellers market and over 6 months is considered a buyers market.
