There’s a Dr. Seuss children’s book titled ‘Oh the Places You’ll Go!” It has humorous and motivational stories encouraging kids to do something positive with their life. One of the places that Dr. Seuss describes as ‘useless’ is ‘the waiting place…”

Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.”

Dr. Seuss exhorts his young readers to escape to the ‘bright places where Boom Bands are playing.”

There are many people in the real estate market stuck in the waiting place. People are waiting for the prices to go even lower and the market to finally bottom out, etc. This is a useless place indeed. After months of watching prices drop, and more and more bank owned, or ‘underwater’ homes enter the market, it’s time for the sideline audience to finally get in the game and leave “Useless Place”.

Prices here in the Upper Naugatuck Valley are as low as they have ever been. Buyers are starting to leave their ‘useless place’ to take advantage of the bargains, coupled with some of the lowest interest rates in years and a IRS credit of $8,000. Sellers in the area are still trying to get a fair price for their homes, and even though they may stay on the market a little longer than usual, a quality home priced fairly, will sell.

In our area there is a wonderful range of competitively priced homes for sale right now, and the smart buyers are taking advantage of this and are no longer waiting.

Are you stuck in a useless waiting place? I can help any buyer find a home in the Central Naugatuck Valley.
