Homes Sales Increasing - Good News from National Media

It is about time that the national media starts giving some good news when it comes to real estate. But as soon as they do, they sabotage us by then focusing on the regions of the country that are hurting the most. What about the good stories? What about areas like Scranton, Pennsylvania that are increasing regularly and are on the up and up? In any real estate market there are going to be slumping areas. Why is that what the media focuses on?

If I were an anchor for a major Tv station, I would let people know that this is a great time to buy. Good deals are out there and rates have been very good for a while now. This is also a great time for those who are looking to sell and "move up" to something bigger. There are lots of buyers out there looking in that median price range and they can most likely get a deal moving up to a higher price range home.

The national average of existing homes sales rose 2.9%in February according to NAR. That is even with all of the hurting markets. That means some markets are seeing great strides and much higher percentages of home sales increases.

Looking to buy or sell? Come to Lackawanna County and look in the Scranton, Clarks Summit area. Or stop by my site to learn about the area. Homes are selling and now is a great time to be in the real estate market.
