- 01/06/09 05:20 PM
Attention Home Buyers: It seems like all the home buyers I have dealt with lately are talking out of both sides of their mouth. They say, "Yes we want to buy" but when we find a home meeting their criteria They cannot do it. The reluctance is due to: A.) Scared of the ecomony and/or B.) Have a house to sell and are not willing to take a loss on the Selling end but DO expect a DEAL on the buying end or C.) Want to "WAIT AND SEE" if rates drop or a better house comes on the market. I do not understand this thinking....IT IS A BUYERS MARKET!!! … (2 comments)
