When you buy YOUR next home in milton ontario, you have some things that you are really looking for; we’re thinking that this fabulous home has those things, and maybe even more!

Rare to find is a 4-bedroom home at this price-point; even rarer is all 4 bedrooms are a great size for youngsters or teens alike. I’m thinking that you want 2 full, 5-piece bathrooms, the ensuite having a separate soaker tub, instead of those tiny regular tubs and 2 sinks – well, you’ll find that here too. In fact, the Master bedroom also has a pair of Her’s & Her’s closets! Guys, if you’re lucky, she’ll share with you. Want room for a computer nook? There’s room on the upper hallway. Oh yes, let’s not forget that there are California shutters throughout the house!

How about the main floor having a Family Room AND a Living Room AND a Dining Room AND a Breakfast Area AND a Breakfast Bar? Yep, yep, yep, yep, and yep – we got ‘em all!

Walkout to the yard, that is finished with beautiful perennials, situated for evening sun, and not so big that you’ll have to spend all your free time taking care of it. That’s my kind of living – is it yours?

Take a look at all the pictures, picture how much you’ll enjoy sitting on your front porch, watching the world go by; think how great it will be to come inside directly from the garage, and start placing your furniture, coz this baby’s got it all!

Oh, and as a special bonus (hey, that’s what they say on those HGTV shows!), the basement is huge, will make a fantastic rec. room, and is unspolied so you can develop it however you want!

Seriously, what more could you want in a house that is priced to attract immediate attention, offers, and ACTION! A GREAT first action would be to go check out the full listing at our real estate web site, AllMiltonHomes.com

One of the truest indicators of the health of a real estate market is the absorption rate. Simply put, the absorption rate is the numerical representation of the percentage of inventory that is being absorbed and the number of time-periods of supply there is presently on the market.

The information used to calculate the absorption rate is the number of available properties at the end of a time-period and the number of properties sold during that time-period.

As I track the market data only on a weekly basis, I am only, at this time, able to present the data in a weekly format. If I am able to gather the data, I will present a historical look at things in the future.

According to typical historical expectations, when calculating absorption rates on a monthly basis, a supply of 5 months or less is a Seller’s Market; a supply of between 5 and 7 months is a Balanced Market, and a supply of 7-plus months is a Buyer’s Market. In the Milton area over the last 10 months, we have, according to these measures, been in and out of a Balanced Market.

Here’s the chart:

Remember, the data above is presented with numbers pulled on a weekly basis. That means that, if no more homes came on the market, we would have no homes left for sale after 5 weeks. That won’t happen, but it sure is a good time to get your house on the market right now.

I got this article from a mortgage agent, and thought it worthy of passing on to you . . .

Too many buyers … especially first time home buyers… find themselves standing on the sidelines watching the housing parade go by due to a unfounded concern that home prices might dramatically drop again due to a sagging economy.

If this sounds like you, there is something you need to be aware of:

By not taking action today on a affordable home you may be missing out on some of the best moments life has to offer for you and your family!

Personal Story:

Many years ago, the wife and I decided that we should abandon apartment life and put down some permanent roots closer to our daughter’s new school.

Had it not been for the fact that we had to buy before the start of school, we may have been inclined to put off buying today in hopes for a better price tomorrow…and that would have been a big mistake. Here’s why:

What I Know Now I Didn’t Know Then:

I will never forget our first night in our new house. As we sat in our new dinning room having

our first dinner in our new home something seemed out of place. It was quiet…too quiet.

Gone were the sounds of the footsteps from the woman who lived a floor above us as she darted from room to room. (that woman never sat still) …

Gone were the sounds of two yapping dogs across the hall who barked uncontrollably every time someone in the building opened and closed their door.

Gone were the sounds of car horns and screeching brakes during rush hour traffic from the busy street adjacent to our building…

Gone were the sounds of our neighbors daily life. From their music, to their television shows….

All of that noise and chaos was gone. In its place was a quiet, tranquil feeling that let us silently know that all of that was behind us now because we were home. It was so quiet we felt like we were on a vacation in a cabin somewhere in the mountains.

My daughter now had her own backyard to play in. My wife went from one room to the next excitedly discussing her decorating plans. I finally had my home office. As a family we began planning things we only dreamed of before…like having our own dog. (his name was Logan and he gave us 14 great years)

I could never put a price on the feeling of pride and enjoyment our family had those first few days…weeks…and months in our new house.

Bottom Line: I understand that afford ability is an important factor.  However,  if you find a home that is affordable and meets your needs, don’t talk yourself out of buying today with the notion that by waiting you may get a better deal somewhere down the road (especially if you are looking at homes in the lower end of the market).

Rate are down…inventory is up…prices are affordable and there are a number of incentives for buyers to buy.

If you are looking to buy a home, there are a lot of factors in your favor right now.  Don’t let an unfounded concern or fear regarding something that may never happen (another major drop in housing prices) stand in the way of  presenting your family with one of the greatest gifts you can possible give them…the enjoyment of owning their own home!
