Reasons Why Now Is A Great Time To Buy A South Windsor Home

NOW is a great time to buy a South Windsor home. Combine an abundance of inventory, low rates, low prices on homes, and motivated sellers, and you will know why you should take action today.

  1. Take Your Pick: Currently there are 147 ACTIVE properties to choose from in South Windsor. The days when there were more buyers in the market than homes for sale are gone.
  2. Make An Offer:  In the previous real estate bubble, buyers were outbidding one another, sometimes thousands of dollars above the list price of a home they wanted.  Now, buyers are finding sellers more willing to entertain their offer.  The worst a seller can say is no!
  3. A Balanced Market:  In the past, many buyers waived contingencies for home inspection, pest, or radon inspections. Today, the majority of buyers are asking for inspections.  And, if concerns are identified, they can reasonably expect sellers to work with them on getting the repairs completed before the sale.
  4. You Can’t Beat The Location:  Want to live in a great town?  Live close to all shopping amenities?  Near the town center?  In a better school district?  In a larger or smaller home?  You will be surprised at the numerous of possibilities out there that are a much better buy these days.
  5. Bargains Are Available:  First-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, down-sizers, and others can find bargains today if you know where to look.  Bargains include short sales, foreclosures, lender-owned properties and motivated sellers.
  6. Affordable Payments:  Interest rates on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage have been hovering in the low 3% range this year.  Compare that to the average interest rate 2 years ago on a 30-year fixed, which was 5%; 10 years ago, 7%; and 20 years ago, 10%.  From an historical standpoint, today’s interest rates can’t be beat.


Combine an abundance of inventory, low rates, low prices on homes, low monthly payments and motivate sellers, and you will know why NOW is a great time to buy.
