[quote=sdrealtor]. The best deals are very elusive. The house my client is getting is the kind that stays in a family forever and only rarely do properties like this hit the market at any time or any price. If you arent looking now and arent ready to strike when that opportunity presents itself (which could take a couple eyars of work to find) it is very unlikely you will be among the truly big winners in this cycle.[/quote]
This too. If you’ve got a lot, relatively, of money to spend your particulars are generally, well, more particular. We have made house hunting almost a hobby for eleven years. It is remarkable how rare the great deal “dream home” houses and lots really are. Oh we’ve seen many in magazines and on the Internet, but those rarely are the same in person.
If you are looking at it purely from a financial sense maybe you don’t need to get going, but if you’re looking for a house you could die in I would start looking now. Earnestly.
