Midland, Michigan Ayre/Rhinehart Realtors Jane Heiss-Armitage housing market

Midland, Michigan, Ayre/Rhinehart Realtors, Jane Heiss-Armitage Housing Market -

The housing market shows signs of a little recovery, the interest rate is below 5.5% and there is still the $8000.00 first time home buyers tax credit out there which needs to be closed by November 30, 2009.

Also the most active markets are usually in June, July and August so people can be in before school starts in September. Our office showings are up and the number of houses on the market is increasing as people decide to move.

I think it is to early to say we are in a recovery, but signs of bottoming out are looking better.

Enjoy your day !
