While "Marry the house and date the rate"  was a cute little saying,  what if today's rates are the new norm?What if they do not come down as expected?Waiting for them to come down while prices continue to climb , climb , climb doesn't seem to be a good strategy.Here's what I am pretty sure of.  5 years from now, prices will likely be higher.  How about 10, 20 years from now?Contact me today so we can develop a game plan just for you and your housing needs.   (609) 864-8164.  Put my years of success and knowledge in real estate to your benefit.https://michaelelliott.fathomrealty.com/

HOME PRICES STRESSING YOU OUT?I get it… between the home prices, lack of homes on the market and interest rates, a lot of buyers have been feeling the pain.Believe it or not, you can still score a deal on real estate in Elk Grove if you’re strategic.Here are a few ways:01. Buy in an “up and coming” neighborhoodSome of my favorite neighborhoods for those looking for a “deal” or considering an investment in Elk Grove are:— Laguna Vista— Walnut Orchard— Laguna Park02. Look for properties that have been sitting for a whileThis is a great opportunity to make an offer without a lot of competition or fear of a bidding war. (You can sometimes even come in below list price if the seller is motivated enough).These are just two strategies we can consider together. Comment DEAL if you want me to se...

This is a great blog by Lou Ludwig about successful people.      Motivational Power Quote   Successful People Make it Look Easy "If people knew how hard I worked to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful." Michelangelo, artist       As I see it. . . . . . . . Successful people make it look easy  When we watch at successful athlete playing or in their venue they make what they do look easy. Not matter what the sport is a successful athlete spends many hours preparing themselves to succeed. They may run hundreds of miles to prepare themselves to success run a sprint that takes less then a minute.   A professional golfer hits thousands of golf balls to perfect their skills to become better.

Buying rural property Buying rural land can be a rewarding investment and lifestyle choice, but it comes with its own set of considerations. Here are some important tips to keep in mind when purchasing rural land: Research Zoning Laws and Restrictions: Understand the zoning regulations and any restrictions that apply to the land. This includes knowing if there are any limitations on building structures, farming activities, or other land uses. Make sure to research any CC&R’s that might be in place. Restrictive conditions might easily upset your whole apple cart. Survey the Land: Get a professional land survey done to determine property boundaries, easements, and any encroachments. This will help prevent boundary disputes in the future. Many of the rural parcels in my area have very good...

If you are looking for a Realtor in Central MS and have questions about this post, feel free to reach out to me. There are many options to cover the buyer agent's fee, discover some in this post and what you should be looking for in an agent representing you. There has been a lot of misleading commentary recently about how the real estate buying and selling processes are going to be changing due to several lawsuits, and how this will save consumers money both as sellers and buyers. Well, let's discuss some facts. Originally, both the listing broker and selling broker worked for the seller, that is why listin...
