It's Only A Buyer's Market If You Buy!

I’ve been watching the little pile of snow under the laurel bush at the end of our driveway, waiting to catch the last moment of its existence as a sign that Winter is finally over. I know I’ll never catch the exact moment because it’s always changing and it will disappear before I actually see it so I won’t be able to crow about my un-official beginning of Spring.

The same holds true for those Buyers waiting to see when the market will hit bottom. Before they’re able to recognize it the moment will be gone and prices will have begun to move back up.

A recent article in TIME presents a compelling case. Even if home prices drop by as much as 10 percent, a slight uptick in interest rates stands to raise monthly payments to levels that exceed or even cancel out the lower price!

Remember, It’s Always A Good Time To Buy Good Real Estate!
