Over the past month, it seemed like the activity at my office was picking up a bit -- open house attendance was up, more showings were being scheduled, more offers were being written on the board, and more listings were being taken.
But it wasn't until I ran the number of sales over the last three months from my local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), that I saw on paper how much things really had improved. Are we starting to make a comeback??
While it will take some time for market conditions to "get back to normal," I can't help but feel even more optimistic about the spring and summer markets. And it is worth repeating that with so many choices for buyers, interest rates hovering around 5%, and the $8000 credit for 1st-time buyers, right now is an opportune time to purchase a home.
So if you've been thinking about buying a home, go ahead...
TAKE THE PLUNGE!
