Now is the time to think about real estate! With tax credits, the low interest rates, and with the over-correction of the local real estate market, affordability has reached levels that we have not seen for years! And, it’s unlikely buyers will see this type of market for many, many years to come.
Promising news for home buyers and owners:
- January 2010 marked the fourth straight month where homes sales increased. This is followed by 39 straight months of declines. This trend is expected to continue with a 5-10% increase throughout 2010.
- New construction experts agree that 2010 will see this number begin to climb too. A shortage of inventory is likely to occur in late 2010 in lower to mid-range price points.
- Steve Murray, a nationally recognized real estate expert notes: We are in a soft-bottom and have started a long slow recovery.
A Time to Buy!
- An $8,000 tax credit is available for first-time home buyers until April 30, 2010
- A $6,500 tax credit is available for current home owners who have been in their home for five consecutive years and plan to purchase a new or used home by April 30, 2010. (see all the details under the “client resources” link at www.bobparks.com)
- Interest rates remain at historic lows. As of late February 2010, 15 year fixed rates are near 4.5% and 30 year rates are around 5% for home loans.
- Most financial experts believe rates will begin to rise in the coming months

We vacation in St. Croix for a week or so every winter. A few years ago we were considering buying a vacation home on that beautiful island and then it occurred to us: if we have a 2nd home there, we’ll only get to use it a couple of times a year. Instead, we built our dream vacation cottage right in the front yard of our Green Hills home!
continued that architectural style with an expansive renovation and addition and replaced the asphalt shingles with the clay tiles that were original to the residence.
Spend a few minutes here and it’s easy to forget you’re five blocks from Green Hills mall, less than ten minutes from downtown (without traveling on the interstate) and Maryland Farms in Brentwood. You won’t find a more convenient or desirable location that makes you truly feel like you’re on vacation every time you pull in the driveway.
Listed at $1,500,000 (priced for current market) our home features a total of 5330 sq feet, five bedrooms and five full baths and expansive outdoor entertaining areas. Both the “morning kitchen” and the new guest house/party room kitchen boasts gourmet appointments: Sub-zero glass front regrigerators, Wolf, Viking, Thermador, Asko… as well as a “kitchen to kitchen” intercom which makes communication with caterers a breeze when entertaining large parties!
