National Association of Realtors said that number of signed contracts to buy previously occupied homes rose for the second month in a row. So what does this mean that the housing market has bottomed out? I definitely can't answer that question.
But it's great to hear good news in the Real Estate Market. Hopefully this will get people who are cautious of buying to buy a home. The results not only beat analysts expectations but were also 1.1 percent about last year's level. This is the first time that has happened since December.
Pending home sales were up 8.5% in the South and nearly 4% in the West. They fell 5.7% in the Northeast and 1% in the Mideast. Our best hope for us real estate professionals to help continue this trend of increasing home sales is the $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers. The law defines "first-time home buyer" as a buyer who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase.
