Right now, you don’t have demand as high as it will be in the spring. The media has everyone focusing on interest rates. Now is a great time to buy and sell a home, especially if you are focusing on a new home. Don’t worry about the interest rates, you can refinance when the time is right.

Well that didn’t take long… Barely 6 months after home prices peaked, consumers are starting to feel better about the #housing market. This just speaks to that pent-up demand that will likely keep the market from a massive crash. #Mortgage rates are also well off their highs of October, which, combined with lower prices, are improving affordability. This is not to say that the #housingmarket is suddenly cheap. Far from it. It’s just on its way to better.
