Short answer. Because it always does. Longer answer. People love to buy real estate. Around here real estate goes up very quickly but comes down very slowly. It typically takes a year or two of a prolonged downturn to have any real impact on real estate prices. There are still multiple buyers for any home, no large scale construction and more buyers entering the market all the time. I don’t think we’ll see the kind of increases we saw the last year happening but it will still be a strong competitive market next Spring. Any real change will take much longer to come
