I have been reading a lot of things regarding the spending in Washington these days.  I think the more spending of infrastructure the better.  The Federal Government has now given the Metro service in the D.C. area 900 Million dollars to start to take the rail from Tyson's Corner to Dulles Airport.  Well couple that with the help that WV is getting with the extra money to help finish Route 9.  Bringing the project all the way to the boarder of Virginia.  I see no reason that we will not have continued growth in the Eastern Panhandle of WV, especially Berkeley County.  Taking this in to mind, I don't know if we will ever seen a better time in our lifetime to buy a new home.  With the prices at or near rock bottom and rates at historic lows, and then throw in the $8000 tax credit, it only makes sense to buy now.  We will eventually come out of the down turn and when we do, the people who bought will the market was down are going to be laughing all the way to the bank.
