My friends are asking, "Is real estate getting better?"

Are you wondering if the real estate market is getting better? Some of my friends are.

Some friend of mine from the Moon graduating class of '69 and I met to raise money for Make-A-Wish at our annual bowling event.  During the event, one of my friends asked me, "Is the real estate market getting any better?"  Being in real estate for 27 years, I've seen interests rates as high as 15.75% and today's rates are at an historic low.  Over the past few years there was a huge inventory of homes on the market and now the the inventory is low.  Better is a subjective term.  I would have to say that this market is "better" for a seller.  Why?  It all has to do with supply and demand.  Buyers are taking advantage of the current low rates and they are ready to buy.  If you are thinking of selling your home, now would be the time.
