Vince DeFreitas is a broker at ERA United Home Realty in
Raleigh. You will find that my unique qualifications
as a builder/developer and broker provide me with special insight and experience
that other agents can’t match. I chose ERA Real Estate because at ERA we don't
think of a house as just a piece of property. We see it as your home, the center
of your family's life, the very special place where your children grow up, where
you welcome your neighbors and friends, where your dreams come to life.
I understand what a sensitive, emotionally charged process the
buying or selling of a home can be. I know that it involves one of the biggest
commitments a family can make. That is why ERA® professionals like me are
totally committed to providing whatever it takes to help you through the
process, to keep you well informed, and to make sure you have the right answers
to the many questions that inevitably arise during any real estate transaction.
If you're ready to buy or sell, you will, of course, want
professional help — and I hope you will think of me and ERA Real Estate. I am
totally committed to your needs. If you need a quick answer to a specific
question or more general advice about buying or selling please contact me. You

Now Is A Good Time To BUY Real Estate:
Homes
are selling – 2008 was the 6th best year on record for
home sales in the triangle.
Selection is good – The
shift to a buyer's market is complete. With more available properties on the
market, finding just the right home and negotiating a fair market price has
gotten easier. Sellers may be more flexible with price and terms.
Demand will continue –
Strong household growth together with rising income will likely translate into
increased demand for housing. The number of households is expected to grow by
14.6 million over the next ten years.
Interest rates are historically low
– Low rates increase buying power. Interest rates are holding steady
this year compared to last year.
Now Is A Good Time To SELL Real Estate:
Capitalize on the equity of your
investment – Home values have experienced a phenomenal five-year
appreciation run in the Triangle.
Buyers are out there –
Demand for housing is still high and will remain so over the next decade due to
strong demographic forces. If a house is priced properly today, it is going to
sell.
Sellers have somewhere to go
– With the increase in available housing inventory there are more options
for the next home purchase.
Homes are selling –
Thankfully in the Triangle area prices remain stable which is a stark difference
from other parts of the country.
