The most frequently asked real estate question today

Posted at 2:28 PM, Jun. 18, 2008

Hardly a day goes by when I don't encounter someone I know who asks me: "How is the real estate market?" The answer is simply, "spotty". There are buyers showing up, but there are very few who are actually purchasing property. The current buyer expectation is that there will be a better deal tomorrow. That's not necessarily so - and when tomorrow comes and prices are rising, that buyer is not going to be happy. So, if you are serious about buying property in this market, do it now. There is plenty to choose from and deals can be made.
