The market made some great increases this week with spring, with more buyers searching for their first or next home. The number of new listings has increased and the number of homes going under contract has also increased. The numbers boast an improvement in the housing market here in Maryland. There is speculation though that this increase in market activity is just due to seasonal adjustments though rather than market conditions and the reduction in the federal lending rates. It will be interesting to see how this all changes with the changes in the FHA and Jumbo loan limits and adjustments in the interest rates. Overall, it's still a great time to buy.
These figures are taken directly from our MRIS system and are believed to be accurate.
