Open houses we've done the past two weekends indicate that buyers are beginning to step back into the market. The feedback we've received is that historically low interest rates and declining house prices are attractive and having an impact on the fear that has had buyers on the sidelines.
There's a lot of bad news out there, but don't be discouraged! The Fed is taking action, the new administration has made clear they will take action--to get this economy going, and the housing market is a critical element of the economy.

It's a question a lot of people are asking. One must consider one's own circumstances first. From a purely financial standpoint, it's a no brainer.

Are there buyers at this time of year? Yes, and they are SERIOUS buyers.
