EXISTING HOME SALES ON THE RISE!




A Strengthening Market




The National Association of Realtors report that resales (not new construction) rose 2.3 percent from June 2012 to July 2012.  This is 10.2 percent increase from the same time period last year.
Low interest rates and rising rents have helped contribute to the rise in resales.
However, with the lenders more stringent guidelines and low inventory in the mid to low  price range, it is easy for potential buyers to become frustrated.  The best thing for potential buyers would be arm themselves with the latest market information.  Call a local Realtor (ME!) to find the trends in your area.  Have your down payment ready and a lender letter in hand.  This will go a long way when you find the right property.
