Michigan drops out of the top 10 in foreclosures.

Housing Market Bottom?
Are you a buyer waiting for the “right time to buy” ? Well, that would be NOW!
Do not become obsessed with trying to time the bottom of the market so you can get the best deal. In my 38 years as a broker, I have observed that we never really can identify the bottom of a market cycle until we are already on the upswing.
I offer these observances:
There is huge, pent-up demand for housing, we are entering a spring market, interest rates are still very low and sellers “get it” that their asking prices must be very competitive.
Our showing appointments have increased dramatically in the last few weeks and some properties are receiving multiple offers and selling for more than list price. The overall activity in the market has increased with an upbeat attitude.
Once the mortgage/credit/qualifying standards relax a bit (and they will) and more approved buyers enter the marketplace, home prices will rise.
I strongly believe we are on the road to a real estate recovery, and if you have any thoughts a buying a home this year, NOW IS THE TIME!
