Brevard County Homes For Sale

Brevard County homes for sale are increasing at consistent rate indicating we are in a strong buyers market. My name is Larry Fleckinger, with REMAX Aerospace Realty and I have been selling real estate here in Brevard County Florida for almost 20 years. We all know the present real estate market is being controlled by an abundance of foreclosures and short sales. While we all speculate on when the market will hit bottom, no one really knows...just like most of the buyers and sellers in the mid 2000's did not see the peak of the market, buy the time they realized the market was taking a downturn it was too late. Bottom line here is that you will only know when the Brevard County real estate market hits bottom long AFTER it has hit bottom...again too late. That being said, now is a great time to purchase a Brevard County home for sale.

Our website at Brevard-County-Homes.com generates numerous buyer prospect leads and many of them ask me the question "Is now a good time to consider purchasing one of the many Brevard County homes for sale?" I always answer, that it depends on if you are planning to live in the home for the next 6-8 years or you want to sell it in the next year or so. It seems, during the last "outrageous never to be seen again" real estate boom we all seemed to acquire the mindset that our homes value should increase monthly and be worth way more than what we paid for it when we bought it a year ago. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, this is just NOT the norm in real estate. Back when our fathers purchased homes, real estate was considered a good LONG TERM investment that offered many benefits...tax deductions for interest on the mortgage, tax deductions for the property taxes, the feeling of security of owning your own home and it appreciating in value at a stable yearly rate. It was what many folks used as their nest egg, not a "get rich over night" proposition.

Brevard County homes for sale will eventually find normal again and start to appreciate at a normal level for long term growth. In the mean time, homeowners will be able to make very good buys in our local real estate market. Here is something we all need to think about Brevard County Florida... almost everyone wants to move to a place like Brevard County, we offer year around sunshine (no snow), golf, boating, sailing, beaches, outdoor sports, hunting, hiking, camping, canoeing, Inter Coastal waterway, ocean access, great colleges, retirement activities, Disney World and some of the world's best attractions are just minutes away from Brevard County Florida. What is not to like about Brevard?

And here is something else to consider, if you are thinking about buying a Brevard County home, interest rates are at historical lows RIGHT NOW. Again, we have to be careful getting lulled into thinking rates will stay low forever...they will increase once again, I guarantee it! Here is a simple thing to remember, if rates increase by 1 percentage point, your buying power decreases by almost 10%! And something else to consider about getting a loan is that lenders are making it more and more difficult as time moves forward for the average person to obtain a loan...FHA has increase their upfront mortgage insurance premium already from 1.75% of the base loan amount to 2.25%, a 1/2 point increase that is now being added to your upfront closing cost.

In conclusion, I think now is a GREAT time to purchase Brevard County homes for sale! If you would like to work with a local professional Brevard County real estate agent to help you navigate through this process just do a Google search for Larry Fleckinger and you will be sure to find me.
