Your orders are in and you are ready to find your home. I am finding that many of you are considering renting instead of buying. You have heard that the market is in a bit of an unpredictable flux and you might feel that now is a better time to rent. Well, the rental market does have some great finds out there. However, consider what the local real estate investors are up to. My office, Styles and Styles Company Realtors, does deal directly with bank foreclosure listings. Because of this, I have somewhat of a peek into the minds of seasoned real estate investors. Now,when I say investors…I am not talking about those that have recently jumped on the bandwagon. I am talking about the ones that make RE investment their living. These investors are the ones that had the wherewithall to jump OFF the bandwagon in time to save their shorts.

Here is what I see…

Since February, I see that more and more of the old investors are calling and saying that they are back in the game. They are looking for not only foreclosures, but also for short sales or any stress situation that may now be bubbling to the surface. These guys (and ladies) are setting the tone for stabilization (the bottom of the market). My professional opinion is this… being a military buyer right now…is putting you in the exact right place at the exact right time.
