The Housing Market Slump

Long and short term mortgage rates went down last week on average of .5 point. When buyers understand they're getting more breaks on their rates, they'll decide now is a good time to act. More housing inventory has taken pressure off, but at some point, in the not-too-distant future, buyers will suddenly come alive and if they do it all at once, they may be wondering what happened to a certain property. The answer will be, somebody already bought it. Don't get fooled by the slow times, they won't last forever in a strong economy.
