Condos for Less Than the Cost of a New Car

With so many condos in South Florida available for less than the cost of an average priced new car it's no wonder I've been running my tail off this summer. Buyers with cash are taking full advantage of the overwhelming wealth of inventory now glutting the market. In many cases buyers are looking for deals on several at a time hoping to grab up a couple and make some extra cash monthly. Holding them a few years or more until the market stabilizes is not difficult since the rental market for inexpensive homes and condos is strong.

Cash is king in these instances. In many cases lower real estate values and stricter financing regulations make it difficult to obtain any financing on these condos. That together with the fact that foreclosure sales are often awarded to cash buyers with no financing contingencies. Some savvy buyers are building up a small inventory of real estate that may in fact become their financial salvation in the future. Others are just looking for ways to live inexpensively while maintaining ownership interest in property.

International buyers seem much more eager than domestics to snap some of these properties up. Seeing the advantages of having a place of their own when visiting the area and not being as affected by the economies in their countries they are taking full advantage of opportunities and benefitting from the seemingly unending depression of the American real estate market, particularly the one here in South Florida. Opportunities continue to pour into the marketplace. The tremendous backlog of foreclosures still being accumulated should allow this market trend to continue for some time to come.
