Vacation's almost over

August is winding down, school's about to start in many areas, vacations are coming to an end and the housing market is starting to pick up again as we race toward the end of the year. Those folks who didn't buy in the summer are gearing up to hit the sidewalks and try to see as many houses as possible. The serious buyers are trying to beat the tax hike that takes effect on Oct. 1 if you buy in DC. The serious buyers are also trying to buy something so they don't miss the boat. No one knows what the housing market is going to do in the coming months so if you're in the market, you need to be in the market.
The Saturday Washington Post had an item of interest. Check it out: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/18/AR2006081800476.html

If you're out there looking and you don't have an agent, give me a call. I can make the process a lot smoother for you and open a lot more doors than you'll be able to open simply by going to open houses. And when you find your dream home, I can help make the buying process a piece of cake. Call me.

Enjoy the rest of your day.
