The High End Home Markets Is Alive and Well in the Metro of DC
The luxury Market of Real Estate is going strong in the Metropolitan areas of DC.
This is great news considering the lackluster performance of the national real estate market.
Looking at the chart below; I would like to highlight a couple of items:
1. Most transactions are being sold between the 1-30 day period, mostly with the use of conventional loans.
2. With this being said, in Montgomery county alone, there are 881 and homes on the market over a million dollars. This suggests that sellers are starting to recognize that now is an attractive time to sell a home. Prices have held firmly and buyers would like to get their foot in the door before interests rates get out of hand.

With the rise in oil, up 11...11 bucks on friday and inflation, in general; we will have tough times ahead of us. I think real estate is slowly stepping away from the spotlight and other issues are popping up as priorities. Inflation is really hurting most Americans and due to this the Fed has hinted to us that their concerns will be to fight inflation rather than rescue the housing slump, hence get ready for higher interest rates. The bottom may not be as close as we think! FOr Consumers their will be a balancing act. Do you choose to buy while interest rates or low OR do you wait a bit for the prices to go down slighty and pay higher interest rates. If you are in it for thelong term it will pay off to by now with lower interest rate. You will save more in the long run.
