I am frustrated. I am in Maricopa County in the sunny state of Arizona. We currently have a large amount of foreclosures. This is wonderful for buyers and I am loving my job, knowing I am getting people in at the low of the market so that they can make a nice

great time to buy: Why is NOW the Time to Buy? - 03/27/08 08:53 PM
Why buy now? Because interest rates are LOW! Instead of buying right now, are you waiting for prices to drop? What if the price drops but the interest rates rise? Comparing payments on a home reduced by 10% but purchased at a one-half percent higher interest rate would be very close to

What are you waiting for? If you are waiting for the bottom of the market, you will miss it. Interest rates are low, inventory is high with many types of properties and the lowest prices in years.In talking with buyers, they want a "deal". Buyers are offering well below the asking

Bank of America is Keller Williams' new preferred lender!!

Hey Everyone... This article comes straight from the Florida Association of Realtors News & Events Site.

January in Waco seems pretty typical and the figures from December to January aren't much different. From last year, not much difference either. The word FLAT comes to mind. The main change is the increase again in inventory. While there was a noticeable slight decrease in the past few months, the
