Buyers are jumping off the fence to get into a new Shreveport home.The length of time a home is staying on the market is shortening as indicated by the DOM figures.  We are in the beginnings of a market recovery, and the buyers are jumping off the fence to take advantage of the still low interest rates.  Now IS a good time to buy, so it's also a good time to get your house listed.
