This Could Be the Golden Age of Real Estate (Buying!)

Ah, the fond memories… growing up in Livingston County, I remember my parents commenting on the properties they wish they would have purchased over the years. In the 1980’s, we’d be driving around and they would let us know how much they could have picked up this piece of land and that house in the 1970’s. In the 90’s it was looking back to the prices of the 80’s. They said, “If we only knew then…”

Fast forward to today. Could this be the Golden Age of real estate purchasing? I think so. Let’s face it, with the changing market, we’ve already traveled back in time to the pricing of ten years ago. In twenty years, we will be talking about the good old days when you could get a nice 4 bedroom colonial in Brighton for $225,000. The days when interest rates were around 5 ¾% and there were hundreds of homes to pick from in every price range.

Our team is forming lists of properties that we believe are good investments. Interested? Let us know, so we can keep you up-to-date on these properties. We want to help investors and regular “Joes” take advantage of this opportunity. Our Top Ten picks will include some Buckley Jolley listings and also properties listed by other real estate companies. We’ll work hard to find the good deals. You can count on it. Look for a follow-up post on real estate investing in the next few days.

By the way, my parents made some very good real estate decisions over the years. It’s just human nature to remember the fish that got away!
