      <title>F.C. Real Estate Agents on the Area Housing Market</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Article from the Falls Church News-Press--Summer 2008&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Agents' Take--&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;"An advocate for buying property versus renting, Julie Pearson assures prospective sellers and buyers that the real estate market is not all gloom and doom.&amp;nbsp; Though properties are selling with lower interest rates, rates will likely increase as the economy stabilizes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lsquo;Buyers are out there and they are purchasing.&amp;nbsp; Our area is selling for sure.&amp;nbsp; There is a possibility that interest rates will go up, so this really is a good time for buyers to get in the market,' Pearson said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pearson said active real estate is neighborhood specific and varies city to city.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lsquo;I think real estate is profitable.&amp;nbsp; There are always cyclical cycles that we go through.'&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With three consecutive months of increasing contract activity, Falls Church continues to show encouraging signs amid a nationwide economic slump.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lsquo;I do think the prices might decline a little bit more in Northern Virginia until it bottoms out and then hopefully early next year, we finally will be back to normal."&lt;/p&gt;
