We are all feeling the pinch of this volitile economy.

For those of us who have managed to hold onto our jobs, our retirement or our savings, there could not be a better time to invest in real estate.

If you are looking to upgrade or to get into your first home this could very well be the best of times to purchase a home.  

Many of the houses offered today are at a more realistic price than the super-inflated prices we’ve seen in the recent past. 

Houston, Missouri has been insulated from a lot of the financial turmoil.  Our property prices were never really out of line with actual property values.  But like most areas of the country we are being affected by high fuel prices, food costs, etc.   We’ve had only a slight increase in foreclosures over the past year.  Thankfully none of the houses we sold were through after-market lenders that later resulted in foreclosure. 

Just like the local real estate market, the local banks have maintained a good handle on loans and don’t seem to be suffering like many of the larger banks.

We feel like our low property taxes along with realisitic values on our property has made our area even more attractive to prospective buyers.

First time buyers have the extra advantage of not having to sell an exisiting home in order to make a purchase.  Established home owners will find that buying land, homes, farms or any type of property can be a pleasure and not a chore.

Now IS the perfect time to buy the home of your dreams!
