A very experienced real estate agent sent around his semi-regular newsletter, with positive news about the market. At least, I think things are improving. Well, actually, I’m not really that sure whether I should be putting on a happy face, so I’ll share the entire newsletter, so you can decide for yourself:
Low Mortgage Interest Rates, Home Prices Are Back to 2002 Years, Lot of
Homes To Choose From. All Are Factors Why The Boom. However, The
More Important Factor, Not Talked About, Is The Fact That More Buyers Have
Come To Realization That Their Money Saved During These Past 5 years,
That It Is Better To Invest The Money In A Home, Rather Than Renting.
And, With This Recent New Buyer Urgency, Came Multiple Buyers Competing For
A Same Home Creating Bidding Wars. This Condition Has Made The
Market Place Boom With Much Buyer & Seller Activity.
