Interested in real estate as an investment?

With the recent turmoil on Wall Street, real estate continues to be a long-term, stable investment - especially in the Greater Rochester Area.

If you're looking for alternatives to diversify your portfolio, now is one of the best times to invest in commercial and residential real estate. Prices have stabilized and interest rates have dropped.

The team at Vincent Associates knows real estate investment, because 75% of our agents are landlords. We all started at the bottom and worked our way up to portfolios ranging from $250K to $1.5 million. Let us help you achieve your long-term financial goals as well.

Timing the Real Estate Market - Rochester Vital Signs Tracking

Having closely followed the real estate market in the San Diego, California area, Robert M. Campbell identified trends over time and in turn devised a method for tracking the trends of key indicators or "vital signs".

Since then, The Campbell Method has been regarded as one of the breakthrough concepts in real estate investing, for both professionals and ordinary people looking to purchase a home.

The Vital Signs outlined in his book include:

Existing Home Sales
New Home Building Permits
Local Foreclosures
30-year Mortgage Rate (National)

We also look at the Unemployment Rate for the City of Rochester for added insight into the local economy.
