The housing market is starting to turn the corner. Demand seems to be increasing and supply has leveled off. Prices should be flat for a while then start to turn up again early next year.
Your screen name reminds me of this slate plaque I bought for Mrs. Wasp. It says:"When I married Mr. Right, I didn't know his first name was Always!"
I'm in suburban Washington DC. We hear nothing but doom and gloom here--but two weeks ago a neighbor of mine put his house on the market for waaaay more than anybody else would have dreamed of, and it sold in a week. Despite the fact that few people want to buy at Christmastime. I hope this is a harbinger of good things to come in the spring.
Housing has barely started its crash. Prices won't bottom out until 2008 or 2009.
