Timing a Buyers Market - Puget Sound & Washington State Real Estate

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 14:41:48 PDT

Buyers should not be spooked about the housing market, even with Halloween approaching! According to the latest figures from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service and the opinion of several real estate brokers in the greater Puget Sound region, now is the time for buyers to be making offers.

Attempting to “time the market” is next to impossible. If you are a buyer and you need a home, the selection could not be better. Trying to wait and save a bundle on the home you really want and are going to live in for more than three years just does not make good economic sense. Sellers are starting to understand that they are now competing against many more homes, just like theirs, and are beginning to offer some attractive bonuses to buyers. Buying single family homes and condos in Washington State is still a good investment for your future.
