Five Biggest Real Estate Myths

The Today Show recently featured Barbara Corcoran discussing the Five Biggest Real Estate Myths.   This is something that I think both Buyers and Sellers need to watch. I am always asked “Is this a good time to sell?” or “Should I purchase a home in WNY now?”   Those are loaded questions folks.   You cannot answer them generally.   Each situation is unique, your goals and needs are part of the reason it is either a good or bad time to buy.   But there are signs that now is a good time to purchase in our area.

4. Now is the absolute worst time to sell
5. Before you refinance, shop around
