Is now the right time to buy or sell? How does one know when the time is right to buy or sell real estate in Tyler Texas? If you listen to the national media, you would think the sky is falling in real estate. Not so in East Texas and Tyler in particular. Keep in mind the statistics you are hearing and reading about are numbers for the entire nation–not how we are doing locally. If you were to factor in some states, the national average would be much lower. When to buy or sell is a decision that needs to be made by the individual; however to make an informed decision you must have the right information. You need to be an informed buyer/seller and should gather your information from a variety of sources. It is ok to read the news, follow interest rates and keep in mind the market we are in, but most importantly talk with a Realtor who is truly informed! How do you find such a person? Look for a CRS (Certified Residenital Specialist) or an ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative). They’ve taken the time to get educated and have the training to do the job!
