What does this mean for Signal Hill Buyers? 
The average number of days on the market has increased to 70 days, which indicates a slow down in the frenzied pace of sales. This may allow buyers more time to find a home to purchase. However the caveat always stands, if it is a great home do not hesitate too long, other buyers may find the home just as attractive. Many buyers are moving quickly hoping to be in a new home by the beginning of the year if not sooner.
Interest rates remain attractive - 30 yr fixed at 4.5% and FHA 30 yr fixed at 4.25%. Good news for both buyers and sellers.
