Great News in Moses Lake Real Estate!

There are currently 89 homes for sale for $180,000 and less! This is down from 95 a few weeks ago. Homes are being sold, and lenders are lending for loans. It looks like the housing crisis is on the mend, and where better to look than Moses Lake?

Also in this category, 12 homes are in pending, and 16 homes have sold in the past four weeks.

Have you ever had the opportunity to attend the local, FREE, and extremely informative First Time Home Buyers class? I attended again on Saturday to help teach, and enjoyed every minute of it! The students always have excellent questions. YOU or a friend could be the next student. It's once a month and always conducted by Eric Slyter of the North Columbia Community Action Council's Prosperity Center. The State of Washington's Housing Division is paying for YOU to go. So, set an appointment and learn all you can about buying your first home!

What if you want to buy a house that hasn't been built yet? That's called a PRE-SALE. There are several that will be built in Ephrata. This is where you have the opportunity to choose out of a multitude of options for just exactly what you want in your house. It's like ordering a car to fit your needs, choosing your options, and then paying for it. Or, it's like going shopping and choosing your countertops, carpeting, cabinetry, walls, fixtures, size of home, two or three-car garage, and then figuring out what the final purchase price is. The negotiating part is deciding whether or not you want to spend a little more or a little less, depending on what kinds of options or upgrades you choose, to satisfy your needs and desires, as well as your budget. It's more complex than buying a home that's already been built, but it can be well worth it. Let me know if you're interested, because the first 20 or so homes built in the new subdivision are going fast, and after those are built, the base prices are going up. No time to waste.
