How to get a great Real Estate Deal in Western New York!
I hear it on a regular basis from Western New York Buyers:
“I want a Great Real Estate deal!”
Makes you think of the popular TV game show “Let’s Make A Deal!” There sometimes you get a flashy sports car, and sometimes you left with his and her bicycles or worse.
Much like the For Sale by Owners, WNY Buyers that try to go it alone without the assistance of a Realtor have a difficult time.
It is a Buyers Market and the buyers have visions of purchasing Champagne homes on Beer Budgets. It is happening across the country Realtors are hearing from potential buyers. “Can you get me a great Real Estate deal?” Western New York Buyers are no different. “I want a deal!” I hear it all of the time. But I have something for you to think about…
Do you deserve a Deal?
If there is a Western New York buyer out there not demanding they get a deal I would be very surprised! And why not?
The Real Estate Market favors the WNY buyers right now. Inventory is up and many Sellers are anxious. Now with the increase in foreclosure or short sale opportunities Buyers seem to think they are entitled to the BEST DEAL! And in their mind it is possible to purchase way more than it is realistic.
There are a lot of wonderful Real Estate Opportunities in Niagara Falls. The problem is even though EVERYONE wants a deal, not everyone can get the BEST deals. The BEST deals will to those that are prepared and ready to act. Are you?

Best Deals are Short Sales and Foreclosures! – think again. There always seem to be many competing offers because everyone wants the same great deal
-
The banks want market value
-
You may have to buy “as is.” So is this REALLY a deal?
Just Make Low Ball Offers! – A better strategy is to make solid offers on properties that are priced correctly.
Value of a Property is a Personal Factor – Are you getting a Western New York home you love or just a house you are dealing with?
Pre-Qualification is Key! – If you aren’t, no deal. Loan programs are changing daily, with so much competition in looking for deals you will need to be looking good on paper!
There is lots of competition – Surprise! You are not the only one sitting on the fence waiting for a great deal! Well priced Western New York homes in great condition are going to disappear quickly. Do you really want to be in the position saying “I should have acted faster?”

This is important! The best deals are not going to come to you on a silver platter. You are going to have to do some work and when you find that great deal you are going to have to have:
-
Few if any contingencies
-
Pre-approval letter with a Mortgage Professional with a stellar reputation
-
Prepared to put a large down payment
-
The ability to have a quick closing
No one wants to overpay and you are right to want a Good Deal.
