It's been 10 years since we have seen a buyer's market on the Highlands/Cashiers plateau. My advice to sellers is to wait this out if you do not have to sell. This is not a good time to put a property on the market at the price you would like to get and just see what happens. This is a time for serious sellers who really need to sell their property.
My advice to buyers is to take advantage of this opportunity. Selection is the best I have ever seen, and there will always be sellers who will appreciate you and work with you. Sellers have much more realistic expectations now then they had during the bubble.
I have weathered a number of downturns since I got my license in 1978. The market always comes back. It will this time also. So, if you want to sell for top dollar, wait. If you are in the market to buy, your time has finally come. I can work with you on any property in the Highlands/Cashiers MLS. This is a time when experience matters.

| Remember that the 1997 Tax Act allows you to sell your home and realize as much as a $500,000 exclusion from capital gains ($250,000 for singles). This exclusion is available to all taxpayers, once every 2 years, regardless of age, provided that the home has been your principal residence for at least 2 of the last 5 years. Check with your tax advisor, then sell that house and come to the mountains! |
