Buy Your Valentine One of the Southern New Hampshire Foreclosures

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner.  Are you wondering what to get your loved one? Buying Southern New Hampshire foreclosures may not be on the top of your list, but maybe it should be. Do you need some extra room? Is it time to spread out? Are you a repeat buyer?

You’ve probably heard the term “buyer’s market” more often than you care to, but if you want to expand your living quarters, you might want to pay attention.

What is a buyer’s market?
The typical reply might be something like, “A buyer’s market is where the supply is greater than the demand; the heavier the supply, the stronger the buyer’s market.” What you really need to know is that a buyer’s market is heavily tipped in your favor. Mortgage rates, housing supply and negotiations are all pointed towards helping you find – and buy – the home of your dreams.

What’s so great about buying Southern New Hampshire foreclosures or other homes for sale now?
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or currently own a home and want to upgrade, there are plenty of reasons to get into the action now:

·    Home prices in Southern New Hampshire are lower than they’ve been in 6 or 7 years.
·    Foreclosures are going for rock-bottom prices as lenders try to stem their losses.
·    The number of programs to help buyers get into a new home is higher than it’s ever been.
·    Between government programs, lenders’ programs and private programs, the chances of getting into a home you can afford are high.
·    Many sellers are eager to find qualified buyers. If you’ve been pre-approved for a mortgage, you have a better stance in negotiations.
·    Mortgage rates are lower than they’ve been in a long time, but are slowly starting to rise again.

These are just a few of the reasons.

Why buy foreclosures?
Foreclosures are selling at much lower prices than other homes. In fact, many expect to save at least 30% when buying foreclosed property and that percentage isn’t unrealistic.

If you’ve been trying to figure out what to buy your Valentine, and you’ve been thinking about buying a home, look around at Southern New Hampshire foreclosures. Not only can you find a fantastic deal, but with the right lender and loan, you could celebrate Valentine’s Day in a new home!  (Most loans take 3-4 weeks to go from contract to closing.)
