Over the past several weeks I have been showing three great families homes from Boyds to Bethesda including Silver Spring, Kensington, North Potomac, Potomac and Rockville. It's amazing how many other agents and buyers we are running into. At almost every house we are one of two or more parties viewing the property. I have also spoken with several real estate agents in my office who have presented offers in multiple offer situations. It is very encouraging to see so many buyers recognizing that it is a good time to buy a home!

Several of the agents in my office have multiple numbers of listings under contract too. With rates low and property depreciation that has reached 25% to 40% in many cases, this is definitely a better time to buy than it has been in years. Don't forget the $8,000 first time buyer credit too.

The market might be telling us something good!
