I'm glad you brought that up Jamie, I get tired of hearing that stuff all over the news.
I did hear a saying, "Real Estate is like the weather, not the same everywhere"
I still think our local market is doing pretty well overall. I think most of the problems are in other areas, but the media gives everyone the idea that there are problems nationwide.

If you listen to the news media the sky is falling and the last thing anyone should consider doing is buying a home. As with everything in life, real estate goes in cycles. Prices fluctuate in the short term, but long term real estate is still an excellent investment!

I have noticed there are a lot of VERY nice homes on the market lately at reasonable prices.
Buyers have numerous different choices to really find exactly what they are looking for in a home.......but I have also found out that a good home that is priced right still goes quickly.
