As a seller don’t let scare you…it is an incredible time to sell property. Particularly if you are having financial difficulties and may be facing a short sale. For properties that are priced correctly they will sell immediately typically with multiple offers.

As a buyer this is an incredible opportunity to purchase. The economic forecasters are predicting that interest rates will soon rise, leaving many buyers that could afford to purchase no longer being able to do so.

Until next week…..
