Are you in the market?

If you're thinking about buying a house and you're waiting to see what happens, you may want to reconsider. Getting in to a house now is the best strategy for your future because not only do you reap the benefits of home ownership right now, but as interest rates continue an upward trend, you'll spend less if you buy now. There's so much to choose from too. If you're in t he market for a condo, there's plenty out there. The Washington Post article Saturdays points to that: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/14/AR2006071400080.html

There are a lot of houses out there too. Took some clients out this weekend to look at houses. We saw about 15 or so. I'm still seeing houses where the condition doesn't match the price. We are way past the days where you could just put a sign in front of anything and it would sell in two days. Now more than ever, the condition of the house has to match the price.
