If people continue to sit out the market before buying, they are crazy. With rates hovering this low for a brief moment in time, this real estate fire sale should have people buying. That many aren’t is troubling. Obviously the economy is a huge factor but people cannot afford to sit out any longer. When mortgage rates head up (and they certainly will) the price of the house will only be part of the consideration. The actual monthly cost of the mortgage is going to have a lot of people feeling that it is 1979 all over again.

You know, i’ve been seeing the # 17.5% a lot in the real estate blog world today, and it’s weird . . . . it’s the % by which new home sales are supposed to have increased, and it’s also cited as the % by which new foreclosures are supposed to have dropped (in CA, anyway). That’s according to the L.A. Times real estate page….. coincidence?
