It is definately a BUYERS market in Southern NH. There is a years supply of inventory plus the rates are still at an all time low. Seller's need to understand they may be selling a bit lower in these times but they will be buying lower as well.

Buyers also understand there isn't the same sense of urgency to buy because there is so much available. Sellers are lowering the list price in order to compete for the buyer. - Wed Oct 3 2007, 16:20

Real-data.com is a site that can help. the best solution is to engage a realtor who is engaged in the business. Only full time Agents understand the market and comparable properties that have sold and they knwo the condition of the comparable properties that have sold. Even some appraisers who don't actually "sell" and only deal with raw statistical data under rate or over rate. If you want accurate information-engage a full time agent. - Fri Sep 28 2007, 17:55

You want someone to look after your money "as if it were your own"? Then you want a Buyer Representative. A discount realtor? Would you buy a discount fire extinguisher? a discount life jacket? A discount heart surgeon?

Honestly, take a look at the dollars you are trying to save and then take a look at your long term benefits for the expertise in buying a property.

You buy a car and expect to make money years later? I think not. Money down the drain. Real estate expertise is a win win. If it were that easy to be in the business then wahy pose a question to discount the expertise of someone who would "work for you".

When the "times say" real estate is down...it IS the time to buy. Hire a competent buyer, treat them like YOU would want to be treated for working in YOUR best interests. Good ones won't waste your time showing you everything, but only showing you the best of investments. It makes it look easy.

Who is going to do your CMA? who is going to recommend inspectors,mold inspectors, advise & counsel?
The seller generally pays the fees so why are you trying you deprive the person who is loyal to help you get the best property for the lowest and best price in making a living to support thier family?

Would you discount your job? - Fri Sep 28 2007, 17:35
