Existing Home Sales Jump

The National Association of Realtors reported today that existing home sales increased 4.7 percent to an annual rate of 5.55 million units.

This September home resale increase was more than expected and the second highest monthly sales pace since February 2007!

Personally because of seasonal factors I would expect housing prices to remain somewhat stagnant or actually soften the little from now through the next four or five months. So, for those of you who have been thinking about buying your first home, or perhaps buying a move-up home, from now through about March is usually the best time to purchase a home.

If our strong housing market continues, and I see no reason why it won’t, these next four or five months can be a real opportunity for those of you ready to take advantage of this traditional seasonal pattern. if you haven’t already now is the time to talk with the lender and get prequalified and start your housing search.
