Not only are there a gazillion houses on the market, the interest rates continue to DROP. This is amazing! If you have good credit and a down payment, now is the time to buy your dream house. Sellers are absolutely giving buyers ANYTHING they want. I've heard about Plasma TV's, furniture, closing costs and all kinds of things being thrown in the pot when contracts are written! Good grief. What the heck are you waiting for? Call me today 904-241-2386 or 904-885-9907 and let's get out there and get you a house AND a riding lawn mower (or whatever it is you need) and close the deal!
