The laws of SUPPLY AND DEMAND are forecasting what the end of the year and the start of 2013 would look like, ,
PRICES ARE CERTAIN TO GO UP BECAUSE OF LOW INVENTORY AND A GROWING POOL OF BUYERS. AS THEY FIND THEMSELVES  UNABLE TO BUY & COMPETE WITH OTHERS FOR THE VERY FEW LISTINGS OUT THERE.
 
CHECK MONTGOMERY COUNTY OVER ALL NUMBERS
Activity in the Real Estate market is high . .but inventories  are at record lows
Easy to figure this out. .
A lot of people want to sell but, their equities are still too low to motivate them.
Most of the inventory is coming from the MUST SELL homeowners to short sales and a few foreclosures out there.
If you are a buyer, my advice is to act quickly and be prepared before going out there.
