The question on every one's lips is, "When are things going to return to normal in real estate?"  Well, if the "normal" being referred to is the conditions and shady financial dealings that created the artificially inflated markets of five years ago, then we need to be thinking about redefining “normal.”

The bad lending practices of the past are indeed making it more difficult now to secure financing, but try to understand that's not necessarily a bad thing.  Those days of lower standards and easy money led us into this predicament in the first place.  It's good for housing and for the economy when banks become interested in whether loans will be repaid.

In the “new” normal, home prices will stabilize, the number of sales will start gaining, and more people will again realize the benefits that home ownership offers, for both personal and financial security.  With historically low interest rates, affordable prices, and motivated sellers, the housing market is already experiencing the initial signs of recovery.

All of these factors combine to get first-time buyers excited about a purchase.  As these consumers enter the market, they will trigger other purchases, and the chain of transactions grows.  Expect 1st Choice Realty of Fayetteville to reveal a wide range of affordable choices and guide you toward securing the financing you need to make your dream come true.

I just everyone has learned a lesson from all this, but I fear greed will make many forget too soon.

Lesson learned, until it is forgotten, and common sense goes out the door (no pun intended)by Lenders as well buyers. However, in my area market is stabilizing. I'm seeing consistency. Good post.

Fortunately in my area Maria, the market has been fairly stable all along, however the number of buyer who can qualify has been a little off. It's truly Good News to see market condition across the whole country begin to stabilize. As always Maria, I appreciate your comments. Thank you!

Clark, the sooner people realize there is "new normal" they can adjust and move ahead.  Realization is the hard part.
