It continues to be tougher to get buyers qualified.  If a buyer is on the edge, they had better move quickly.

Yes, Suzanne.  Even though rates are low and prices seem very affordable, there are buyers out there who may have high debt-to-income ratios, lower credit scores, or other factors where even a small change in numbers puts their loan in jeopardy.

Good to get the word out Marzena. These are the folks who may not be able to afford another increase in the cost of the home.

Let's hope all these buyers talk to their loan officers and find homes before the deadline, Stev.
