For buyers, happy
times are here again.
Finally, after a
five-year seller's market, buyers are getting a
break. The booming real estate market that generated
an unprecedented rise in home prices and a feeding
frenzy of buyers bidding for too few listings is
finally winding down.
Prices are stabilizing
and even dropping in some sectors. "Reduced" is now
the common rider on yard signs. The number of
listings is increasing across all markets.

Why Use A Realtor®
In the Active Adult
Community category, the buyer's market is obviously
here. Consider:
-
Developer/builders
are offering more and more aggressive financial
incentives to buyers.
-
Resale listings
are at an all-time high - over 190 in
Virginia currently.
-
Listings are on
the market for months, not weeks.
-
The new
construction inventory is growing by thousands
- more than 6,000 units will be added in the
next five years.
-
There are now
34
Active Adult Communities in Virginia
and about five more are known to be in the
planning stage.
-
Very tellingly,
for the first time in years, developer/builders
are offering incentives to Realtors® to bring in
buyers.
So, if you have been
thinking about "Active Adult Living", and even if
retirement is a few years off, this may be the time.
(In fact, in some Active Adult Communities, as many
as 40% of the residents still work. Active Adult
Living is not just about retirement.)
Because I
specialize in Active Adult real estate and nothing else,
it is my job to know what is happening in "my"
market.
And, I do. I make it
my business to stay in touch with the
developer/builders so I know all their incentive
programs and where the best deals are. Once I
understand what you are looking for, I can direct
you to the best deals in the Virginia Active Adult Community marketplace.
If you are ready to
consider Active Adult real estate, the time is right
and the time is now; the market is begging for
buyers and rewarding them handsomely.
