Yes, we all know that this is a very tough seller's market. And one of the concerning trends this year that I've seen is the frequency of buyer's waiving their inspection contingency altogether. All of us are amazed at how much property values are appreciating. There are many reasons for this, mostly consistently low interest rates and historic low inventory levels.
Many regions of the country are seeing appreciation values in excess of 10% per year. How long will this continue? With spring just around the corner, seems like the time to take a look at what's been happening with the real estate market and what may unfold in this spring market. Last year continued the torrid seller's market, that is until we hit mid-October.

Millions of Americans every year begin that life-long adventure of home ownership. Generations of people can look back on their life and define each chapter of their life by the home where their family lived. It's so true with my own family! As the old saying goes, "home is where the heart is." The benefits of home ownership are many: stability, financial security, equity for the future, tax advantages, etc.
No one knows if and when there will be another "bubble" in real estate values. All we know is that the previous bubble was mostly caused by easy financing terms that opened a floodgate of under-qualified buyers, thus driving up prices to disproportionate levels. In this market, financing terms are still strict by comparison.
Seems like I've run into lots of first time home buyers who got burned on their first home purchase. One common thread: Most of them did not have a professional buyer's agent working for them! You hate free professional representation of any kind (buyer's agents are paid by the sellers but represent the buyer).

Positive: Professionalism, Responsiveness
David Baker helped us buy our new home and sell our old home. He is incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. In this environment with multiple offers, he helped us select the best offer. The process could not have been more seamless. I would highly recommend David to anyone who is looking to sell or buy a home.

We have worked with David on multiple occasions! He helped us sell our condo and buy our first home, and most recently, helped us sell our first home and buy our forever home! He has become like family. So easy to work with, thorough, patient, and makes the whole process as relaxing as possible! He clearly has knowledge and experience and a warm personality! He is all that you could want in a realtor and family friend! You won't regret hiring him!

Baker Realty Group recently helped us sell our house. David Baker is a fantastic and knowledgeable realtor. He frequently called to to let us know about the showings and guided us with wise advice for every step of the whole process. It was wonderful to know we could call him at any time and that he would help us with all of our questions. He did a great job negotiating our contract and gave us confidence in every step of the process from beginning until the end. We highly recommend David Baker and his agency.

David is hands down the best realtor we have ever worked with. We have used him and his company for a couple of home purchases and can't imagine using anyone else. He is great at communicating and setting expectations. I can't think of a better friend to have in your corner when buying or selling a home.

We could not have been happier with the service and expertise provided by David Baker. As first time home buyers, David made sure we knew all the details needed to make informed decisions. He knows the area extremely well, and was a pro negotiator, netting us a new roof as a part of our original offer. More than anything though, you can tell that David really cares that you have the best possible experience, and whether it's a late night text, or endless emails looking for updates, David is always responsive. We would recommend him to anyone and everyone looking to buy a house in/near Columbus
