I had just finished reading this story this morning when my phone rang. It was a RE agent calling to see how my home search is going – I have given my phone number to a few new home developers, agents, etc. , including zip realty – I don’t really care if they call. I will buy a home someday – I make enough money and will have 20% down (assuming the market adjusts back to something that resembles normal). It is not easy waiting and paying rent – it has been beaten into me since birth that you grow up, get married, buy a home, have children – but I am observant enough, or at least like to think I am, to see that waiting out this year can do nothing but help my cause.

Anyway, the point is that this agent told me that sales were picking up and if I really wanted to get into the market here I really needed to try and do it this spring, before the summer gets here and it is hard to find a home I want! This following on the heels of reading this article – I am not sure where the interpretation error was, but clearly one of the two of us was not understanding something!

Edit: I had not read the second article which was posted above – evidence of selective reading – me really wanting prices to drop reading only the first article and the RE Agent really want to sell homes and only reading the second.
