Words of wisdom indeed from Mr. Bob Parks, founder and president of Bob Parks Realty, LLC.

These words may seem elusive to homeowners today who are facing bankruptcy and foreclosure, but in the big big picture many of us are safe – though possibly feeling nervous and uncomfortable with the economy. There have never been more buying opportunities for those who feel any sense of confidence.

There are great deals. Loans are available.  If you haven’t owned a home in the last three years, you can get the $8,000 tax credit for buying a home (wouldn’t that be a boost this time next year?).  This will be a long road back to normal – and by normal we’re talking about 2001-02 real estate not the 2005-06 bubble-type market – but it does feel like we’re pointed home now.  Finally.
