#4 Mortgage Rates Still Low!
Whats it mean?? If you have to sell, price your property accordingly. Based upon last years sales a 10% decrease is what the market is dictating. If you are downsizing all is proportionate. You can buy lower but you will be selling lower.
If you are a first time buyer. Its a great time to negotiate.
If you intend to trade up all is proportionate as well . Sell first though and take full advantage of the trading dollar savings being greater.
