Buying Property In Winter

Although recent weather has made us all "think spring" - this article written by Karen Rivedal from the Madison State Journal makes the case for why it's best to look at rural properties in the winter.
Believe it or not, now's a great time to be tromping around outside checking out rural properties you might be more likely to actually use once it warms up a bit.

So says Jay Frazier, Property Trax's go-to guy on questions of outdoor real estate -- hunting parcels, getaway properties, country homes, cottages and farms.

"There's less competition for properties in winter, as there are fewer buyers on the hunt. In some cases, this can mean better deals," said Frazier, a Muscoda-based agent who peddles rural properties in southwest Wisconsin for First Weber.

And for hunters especially, winter is a great time of year to check for wildlife signs on the property to figure out where critters are going.

Helping People Invest

One of the reasons I help my clients invest in real estate is the enjoyment I get from working with them to find a property that meets their requirements, researching their financing and purchasing options, and successfully completing the transaction. And then, there’s the deep satisfaction that comes from knowing that the equity they build will help them achieve a higher quality of life.

As history shows, real estate has always been a steadily appreciating investment, even with the occasional market downturns. So if you would like to get together and talk about how you can benefit from this downturn, please let me know. I’d be happy to help you through the investment process.
