Rates dip down, and things look pretty good in the very near future.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen mortgage rates slip even lower.  Applications are up, and interest in homes seems to be increasing at a steady pace.  Things are busy in our office again as people take advantage of this opportunity to purchase and refinance with record lows again.

Yesterday while watching the national news networks, I took note that it was predicted by various experts that the bottom in the real estate slump is here or in sight.  Experts commenting on the stock market also had positive remarks for the first time in months.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we continue to see an active market compared to other parts of the U.S. and real estate professionals indicated that the phones are ringing once again.

Now is a great time to buy, as prices are fair and there are a great deal of people moving back into the rental market.  Investors with 10%-20% down are taking advantage of this opportunity by adding homes to their rental inventory.

Amen!  Let's get the ball rolling a bit faster (since it never really stopped here in Seattle).  I am ready for Spring and an increase in activity.  Hooray for the good news outlook from the experts.

Great news, we have people looking at homes and the interest rates being low is motivating people.  They may realize that "now is the time".  Why wait?  It does not get better than this......
