According to Realty Times things may be looking up. Decembers sales were up by 6.5% and pending sales for January, 2009 is up 6.3%. Combine that with the tax breaks introduced by Sen Isakson of Georgia I think we are seeing an upswing in the market. It may take time and it may be gradual but it is looking like it is starting to climb out. This is good news for all who are looking to buy a new home and for those that are trying to sell!! Leave me a message if you are seeing the same thing, would like to hear from you.
PS Happy Valentines Day !!

I just read in the Atlanta Business Chronicle that Georgia has the lowest mortgage rates in the country for the week ending Jan 25th. Georgia and Florida actually tied for this position. Interest rates here in Georgia average 5.03 percent for a 30 yr fixed rate. With interest rates so low and the housing market the way it is now is the best time to buy.

Now is the time to buy! I am glad to be part of this industry during these times.
