What a crazy market right now......interest rates have stayed steady in the high 6's....and home prices haven't been escalating as rapidly as they had been,  so why does the market in the "under $700k seem a little slow right now?  There are some excellent buys out there and sellers seems to be willing to compromise somewhat,  so why aren't buyers clamoring to get into a house?  Is it because it's summertime and everyone is heading off to vacation?  Or do buyers feel like they can wait for interest rates to come down??  What a crazy idea that is, when there is good inventory they could be looking at right now.  We had an open house in Land Park last Saturday and got 50 people through....Sunday was Fathers Day so I only had about 15.....but when I spoke to an agent from another company she said she put out about 6 open house signs in the area she was having an open house and only had 4 people come through.   For those of you "in the market" and hoping to get into a home,  get out there and look at all the great homes that are for sale.  Do it now before everyone else gets the same idea and you have more competition.  Be the smart buyer and maybe compromise on some of the things you're hoping to find in a home and just get your foot in the door.....we all know that in 3 or 4 years you'll be soooooo soooooo happy you did! You'll be counting the equity dollars $$$$  in the home you bought!!
