There have been many reports and statistics indicating it is more of a buyers’ market now.  There are more homes on the market than in the past recent years. Many sellers have also had to come down on their prices. Homes do not sell as fast as they did a few years ago. Knowing the market in the neighborhoods you like is important because the homes that are priced right do sell and close within 30-45 days here in our area.

With More Homes on the Market

Buyers can see more homes and feel better about their housing choice, not as much pressure to just get something. This time of year, many people stop looking and get busy with holiday things. It could be an excellent time to look with less buyers out their competing for first time homes.  You do need to realize that there are people that have been holding off buying hoping for rates and prices to drop. With the cost of living now it is hard to save enough money for the down and qualify for the payments. If you are renting you should consider buying your own home. Do the math you have been paying off your landlord’s mortgage.
