Why You Should Sell your Daytona Beach Home Now

Yes, I know - the market will go lower. You don't need to sell. Why should you lose all that appreciation. Where would I live.

I hear these sentiments every day. Here are 3 good reasons you should consider selling your Daytona Beach property soon, in 2010, this Spring:

1. Sell low and Buy low. All property values are down, because of the stress placed on values by the high foreclosure and short sale rate in Florida and Daytona Beach. While you probably had appreciation for a few years, it was a paper gain. If you sell now, it will be a paper loss. And, the next home you purchase - using your Return Buyer tax credit - will be a bargain. When prices come back, and they will, you will be a wiser investor and have a lower base to use for your next rise in appreciation.

2. Down payment help is available. There are many programs now for buyer down-payment assistance. The government is very serious about stimulating the real estate industry throughout the country. Just ask me for recommendations for lenders who can help buyers with down payment programs. Then you will be ready when they look at your home.

3. Uncle Sam is being generous. There is the $8,000 1st Time Buyer credit, the $6,500 Return Buyer credit, energy credits, FHA 203K home improvements credits, and more. Wow - combine these with the low rates and you should be out there looking for buyers, with your doors open.

Contact me for a real estate market analysis of your Daytona Beach home so you will know what you might be able to net. And, of course, email or call if you are having trouble paying your mortgage.

Don't let other sellers get the buyers who are out there - and they are - this Spring. Use the Seller's Toolkit on my web site and let's get together.
