Top 10 Good Reasons to buy Real Estate in
New Bern NC today.
-
Great selection. There are
quite a few homes for sale in New Bern. Although we are
faring better than most of the country we still have an excellent variety available
which gives you the opportunity to find just
the right home for you and your family.
-
No bidding wars. In 2005 and
2006 buyers often had bidding wars on homes for
sale in New Bern. This is rarely the case today.
-
You can make an offer. Not
long ago you were wasting your time to make an offer on
a home for sale in New Bern that was below the asking price. Not the case today.
Sellers are more receptive to below
asking price offers.
-
More time to make decisions.
In the turbulent times of a few years ago you needed to
decide fast if you found a home for sale that you liked. Today a buyer
has the time to think it through and make sure you are
making the right decision.
-
More new homes in New Bern to choose from.
In the past, some markets were so hot that there were
lotteries to buy new homes. Builders could not
build them fast enough. Not so today. Let realtor Steve
Tyson help you find a new home at today's low interest
rates.
-
Repair request are taken seriously
by sellers. Sold as is was a common phrase a few
years ago. Today sellers are more inclined to make
repairs reported on home inspections.
-
Not as many investors buying up
real estate. As many as one third of properties sold
in 2005 and 2006 were sold to investors that were
speculating on the housing market and driving up prices.
-
Interest rates are very attractive.
The interest rates today are at a 50 year low. This makes
buying a home a
very attractive alternative to renting.
-
Instant equity. Today's slower
market is requiring some homeowners to fire sale their
homes which can result in a buyer acquiring instant
equity.
-
Location-Location-Location.
The slower real estate market might open up some
neighborhoods to you that would have been out of your
price range a
year ago.
Let's
sum it all up
It is a definite buyers market. And yes mortgage rates are at a 50 year low. Unfortunately when the opportunity to buy is high,
buyer urgency is often low. Why is this the case? Largely because the
national media thrives on bad news. The media often gives out uninformed and sometimes ridiculous advice. The media bad news frenzy has scared many potential buyers and prevented them from buying now when interest rates are low and home prices have fallen to attractive levels in many areas.
This is ironic because when interest rates were higher and home prices were out of sight the media was cheering folks to hurry up and buy a home they could not afford. It was a classic
sellers market yet folks were
participating in bidding wars to buy. This type of herd mentality is insane.
So take it from me, someone who has been in the
real estate and business over 25 years. If you need a home now is a great time to buy. I personally do not think interest rates will remain
this low for an extended time. If you try to time the
market and catch home prices at their rock bottom you might pay a higher interest rate which could more than offset a small drop in prices.

Where to Retire
MagazineNew
Bern is featured in the July-August 2008 Where To Retire
Magazine, one of the leading magazines for retirees looking
to relocate. The magazine is not available online and the
following information is quoted from the article.
When Dave and Barb Rohrbach retired in New
Bern, they were looking for a comfortable neighborhood and
an interesting town with history. Comfort was found in a new
home they built in a suburban golf community, but the
history was downtown, where they quickly found themselves
part of an American scene that has been unfolding for almost
300 years. As a volunteer with a dedicated green thumb, Barb
helps ensure that the magnificent gardens of the Tryon
Palace continue to burst into blooms each spring as
thousands of visitors come to visit New Bern.
Barb 57, and Dave, 61, who lived in
Manchester CT, investigated several retirement locales in
Florida and the Carolinas before stumbling on New Bern
during a trip in August 2002. At the suggestion of a friend
they had gone to look at Wilmington, NC, and as they
returned they discovered New Bern resting picturesquely on
the Neuse and Trent rivers, its downtown church steeples
visible from the bridge on highway 70.
The sight prompted an overnight stop, a
spontaneous act that changed their lives. Congenial,
friendly people and the charm of New Bern's Colonial
character quickly won them over. In 2003 they bought a lot
in the suburban Taberna community and built a three bedroom
home that they rented out before selling their Manchester
condo and moving in 2005.
Their quiet rural setting is only 10 minutes
from downtown New Bern , where three historic districts
boast Georgian, neoclassical, federal, and Victorian
architecture. Early statesmen, artisans, and business
pioneers lived here, and many of the workplaces have been
restored as offices, restaurants, and shops.
On the corner of Pollock and Middle streets in historic
downtown New Bern is the pharmacy once owned by Caleb
Bradham. Here Barb greets customers with, welcome to the
birthplace of Pepsi. While growing flowers at Tryon Palace
is her volunteer job, Barb works twice a week as a paid
"soda jerk" in the restored pharmacy where Brad's drink
later renamed Pepsi-Cola was invented.
It's such a great down, Barb reflects from behind the
old-fashioned soda fountain as tourist wander in and out. It
will be New Bern's 300th anniversary in 2010, and a great
effort is being made to highlight the city with updated
structures and streets.
Dave, who occasionally drops by the soda fountain for
refreshments, is usually busy doing his volunteer work with
habitat for humanity and the chamber of commerce.
Steeple bells from half a dozen historic churches announce
the hour, and patrons fill friendly restaurants and shops
aptly named Middle Street, which bisects downtown.
Judy, a former bank executive in Sarasota, also works
part time downtown New Bern as a loan-servicing agent with
the Neuse River Development Authority, a non-profit lending
organization. |
