“Our market will recover very quickly once buyers again decide to start buying again.”
“Affordability of homes, which is a function of prices and interest rates, is at levels we haven’t seen for decades. This area is poised for recovery and when it does improve, prices will increase.”
“Cautious Optimism – As we move toward recovery the number of listings is still low. Buyers are finding it hard to find the right home and there are more multiple offer situations. The market is not yet recovered but we are heading in that direction. Confidence in the market is key and if you are looking at the local real estate market your optimism should be rising.”

After the first six months of 2012 it is clear that the market has gone through a major shift. We have broken a cycle.
