The sub-prime problem continues to make the news. It has led to lenders to tightening lending standards, and so there will be continued home sales decline. The delayed housing recovery, experts say is now postponed to the fourth quarter of this year, will not significantly decrease housing inventory levels even as home builders cut back on new construction. As a result, the national median home price is projected to decline an expected 0.7% in 2007. But as industry professionals are well aware, the health of the real estate market is determined by local factors. The drop in home price is a national average. 

On the up-side, NOW is a great time to buy a home. The inventory choices are many and the list prices are very competitive. If you are qualified to buy a home, the time to do it is now!
