Are you looking to purchase a home in 2012?

If so, then you may want to check out this article on Trulia.

If you have purchased a home before and are now looking for an upgrade, this may already seem like “old news” to you. What I do know is that you will definitely find some useful information in this article because the real estate market is always changing which forces buyers to change their strategies as well.

If you have never purchased a home before, don’t worry. There has never been a better time in history to buy a home (e.g. affordable prices, low mortgage rates, motivated sellers, etc). Just be prepared for 2012. Although it should also be a great year for buyers, it may potentially be the year where sellers start to get some of their negotiating power back.

If you are interested in buying a home at some point in the near future, but are unsure about how it all works, please don’t hesitate to contact me and we’ll set up a casual meeting over coffee (or a beer).

Philly is a bargain!

So, what exactly about Philadelphia is a “bargain”? Almost everything in comparison to other major, coastal cities. Rent, art/culture events, etc.

… And it all starts with Center City.

This is an excellent article about why Philadelphia is becoming a premium choice for transplants, as well as how our housing market has held up so well (in comparison to other major cities) during the last half decade.

Good stuff.
