This is something to think about. YES! home prices have been rising over the past 20 years, but let"s take a look at the affordablity of homes today. In 1993 the average sales price of homes in Searcy, Arkansas was around $65,000 and with an interest rate of 10% for a 30 year mortgage, the principal and interest payment was $570.42. Now lets look at todays numbers. The average sale price of a home today is $155,429 that"s nearl;y $90,000 more than it was 20 years ago. BUT, you take the low interest rates of 3% which will make your principal and interest payment $655.29. That is only $84.87 difference than what your payment would have been 20 years ago.
If you are considering buying a home today, do it now and take advantage of these great rates! Call Larry DeGroat today at 501-268-8489 and start packing.

Most of us sell only a small number of homes in our lifetimes. With limited experience in real estate, how are we to be capable of maximizing the profits from our home sale in Searcy AR?
Many home sellers in Searcy AR make the critical mistake of thinking all Realtors are the same. They list with the first agent who comes along. Does it make good business sense to put the responsibility of selling your Searcy AR home with someone who has no plan or qualifications?
This special report will educate you with valuable information that will help you make the best decision concerning: Which real estate agent in Searcy AR should you list with?
Start by doing a few hours of research. Ask around. Get to know who has the most signs, ads and marketing material in your neighborhood. Who"s the most active agent?
Compile a list of agent names in Searcy AR and use these questions to help you determine which agent is right for you.
Could you send me some information about yourself? You can often get a good idea of which agents are the most professional by looking at their promotional materials. If their own materials aren"t professional, how well are they going to market your home in Searcy AR?
Track how long each agent takes to respond to your request and how quickly they follow up. If they don"t respond efficiently to your listing requests, imagine how they"ll handle potential home buyers looking to purchase a home in Searcy AR.
Do you sell real estate full time?-A large percentage of agents sell real estate part time. If one doesn"t devote 100% of their time to listing and selling real estate, how could they possible keep up with the changing business world that we live in. Marketing and negotiating are two skills that a top producing agent must be 100% in tune with.
How do you feel about selling your own listings?-You may be shocked to know that many agents don"t want to sell their own listings. They want to list it and then let another agent sell it to reduce their liability.
How long have you been in business?-The length of time a real estate agent has been licensed is not a sure fire sign that they"ve been an active seller. They may have been in business for 10 years but only part time, whereas an agent who"s been in business for 2 years may be a real top producer.
Do you have an assistant or support staff? - By employing someone to handle the details of their business, the agent can spend more time servicing your needs. However, make sure you know how much time an agent will spend and how much time their assistant will spend on the sale of your Searcy AR home.
It may be fine if the assistant does most of the legwork as long as the agent is there at the most critical times of the transaction period. Often, top producers disappear after they list your home.
This is unsettling to many sellers. Most sellers want the agent that they hired to list their house on the Searcy AR real estate market to be accessible to answer questions as they arise.
How often will you hold open houses?- According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors) only 1% of houses actually sell due to the open house. So why do so many Realtors do them then?
The answer is simple: so they can get more buyers. When a buyer walks into a Searcy AR home on Sunday (most people only have Sunday off), there is a 99% chance that they won't buy it. However, the chance of that Realtor selling them another house is very good. So who does an open house really benefit?
What listing price do you recommend and what is that price based on? - Pricing is the most critical step to selling your home in Searcy AR. Take great care in choosing an agent with the knowledge to price your home effectively.
Keep in mind that the selling price should attract prospective buyers to your home in Searcy AR, get you top dollar in the current Searcy AR real estate market and reflect the condition of your home. Be realistic and avoid "yes agents" who will say "yes" to any request or price while your home languishes on the market.
Lowball agents will try to talk you into an artificial price simply to sell as fast as possible. Be sure the agent is skilled in pricing a home and has facts to back up the price he or she recommends. Emotion or how much an agent likes the house should not be a factor.
What does the listing agreement entail, what are the beginning and expiration dates, and what are the fee amounts I will be paying?- Have your agent go over every detail in the listing agreement with you until you understand it completely.
Make sure the beginning and ending dates are on the agreement; a good standard for length is three months. Know exactly what fees you will be paying and remember that less is not always better.
If the agent stands to make very little commission, you can bet it will be reflected in the amount of time and effort that is spent marketing your home in Searcy AR.
If the agent reduces their commission to get the listing, it may mean they intend to spend very little money promoting the property. The normal commission is 6 percent.
If an agent will list your home for 4 or 5 percent, be sure they offer 3 percent in the MLS or it could drastically reduce the number of showings you will get.
Agents are paid strictly by commission, therefore if there are ten houses to show and eight of them offer a 3 percent selling commission and two of them offer a 2 or 2 ½ percent selling commission, which ones will possibly not even be shown?
Is the agent willing to pay for advertising or do they depend on the company to do it all?-Often agents ride on the reputation of their company in their marketing efforts. Agents are independent contractors and are self employed.
It is up to the individual agent as to how a property is marketed. Be sure that the agent is willing to invest in many different marketing strategies that will give your home maximum exposure and show you in writing what these strategies are.
What types of things separate you from your competition and will you give me some feedback? - How effectively will they advertise? Do they have 24-hour advertising capability? Will all the leads be followed up on by your agent"s team or will they go to other agents who may have other listings they would prefer to show? Agents who are innovative and offer new methods of attracting home buyers will measurably outperform agents who rely on methods of the past.
Marketing effectively in the 2000"s and beyond requires progressive strategies that add value and service for both buyers and sellers!

Tips on Managing Risk in Searcy ARInvestors have a hard life. Rising insurance rates, legal liability, security concerns and increasing interest rates may not be actually conspiring to give them early heart attacks, but it can seem that way. Managing risk in Searcy AR is in a large part, all about how to lower uncertainty by dealing appropriately with those and other stress factors.
Start by exercising common sense and gathering as much information about the Searcy AR real esate market and the general economy in addition to the specifics on an interesting property. Study the numbers on rates of new home construction and the ratio of new to existing property sales. Narrow it down to your different Searcy AR market(s) by looking online at existing comparables, but also talk with other local property owners about their concerns and plans.
When building new structures, manage risk by reviewing trade area demand - by demographic and daytime population for commercial structures, for example. Look also at site characteristics and examine local competition and contrast with regional differences. Take some time to find out about upcoming environmental regulations.
Be sure to set aside the needed amount for insurance, and err on the side of too much insurance rather than too little, if minimizing risk is an important goal.
Go into a deal with the maximum available capital by not spreading your resources too thin. Keep borrowing low and avoid ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) unless they're longer than three years and you expect to sell well within that period. ARMs are inherently higher risk, and the 'interest only' type even more so. Rates tend to rise more quickly than they fall, over the long term.
If you have an ARM and rising monthly payments occur, due to interest rate increases, while the market price is dropping (as may soon be the case), consider selling. Even stocks have to be sold sometimes during a period of declining prices. Capital preservation is important for long term investing, and part of that involves keeping liquid during a 'market correction'.
Some lenders allow borrowing more than 100% of the value of the property. Unless you can use the extra cash in a way that more than compensates for interest and other charges, that's burdensome debt.
Take the time to seek out trustworthy and competent people - don't settle for an uncooperative or arrogant Title company or an unreliable contractor because you're busy. Think in terms of long term relationships. Otherwise, the long term will involve counting financial losses.
Risk can be spread by forming partnerships and, in come cases, by incorporation. Incorporation can allow you to separate personal from business assets, protecting you in case of severe decline. But there are limits - you don't automatically get to walk away from debts by being incorporated. Partnerships though, if you can find reliable and compatible individuals with whom you'll feel comfortable over the long haul, can strengthen your position.
Partners can help fill in gaps in your knowledge and experience, provide additional capital and someone to bounce ideas off of. But choose carefully. Differences of outlook can lead to stagnation when it comes time to take action. Remember, risk can never be reduced to zero.

Vehicle Sales tax in Arkansas is calculated differently in each County or City. There is a base rate of 6% plus whatever your city or county adds onto it. When purchasing a new vehicle and you get these large rebates and incentives, you have to also pay taxes on them, Say you are purchasing a $44,000 vehicle and the dealership is offering a $5, 000 rebate and the manufacturer is offering a $5,000 rebate saving you $10,000 off the sales price. When you get ready to license that vehicle, you pay your tax rate on that $10,000.
Arkansas also has a "No Sales Tax" on a used vehicle if the purchase price was $4,000 or less, thats right, NO sales tax. But if you buy a $5,000 vehicle, you pay sales tax on the whole amount, you don't get a credit of the $4,000.
Arkansas also allows you to have credit on on sales within a 45 day window of the sale of a vehicle. If I sell a vehicle for $20,000 and I purchase another for $28,000, I get credit for the $20,000 amount as long as it was within 45 days. If you buy one then sell, you can request a sales tax credit, again, has to be done within the 45 days. Now on this topic, I personally just went through something that I don't think is fair but had to live with it. I sold a higher priced vehicle and purchased two other to replace it (not that ot matters but it was a new economical car and a used truck for the farm) that was lower than the price of the one I sold. Come to find out, if I had purchased two vehicles from a dealer and sold that dealer my higher price vehicle, I would have been able to use the tax credit on both of the vehicles reulting in NO taxes. Since I used a "private" seller to buy one, I cold only use the credit towrds just one of the vehicles I purchased, which was the higher price one. This little fiasco cost me nearly $400 extra dollars.
I hope this was educational.
