Fall is in the air, get ready to sell/buy!

Fall is in the air and the fall home buying season is about to get underway. If you're selling you house, get ready. The traffic will pick up very soon. If you're buying, get ready. There will be more buyers out there competing with you.
The Washington Post has some items of interest over the weekend. Interest rates are going down:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/25/AR2006082500551.html

There's more concern that the market is slowing: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/24/AR2006082401714.html. Remember what I keep saying though, the market is doing what the market is doing. Don't worry about what the pundits say. If you're trying to buy, it's a great time to be out there looking. If you're trying to sell, it's a great time to be realistic about what your house is worth and what you can get for it. Now is not the time to reject offers that you might get, counter the offer if it's not what you want. If you're buying, now is not the time to sit and wait to see what happens. If you find a house you like, make an offer on it!

I love the fall! Enjoy the rest of your day.
