The real estate market has moved off of the frenzied pace that has characterized it for the past few years. Today, we are seeing the strongest inventory we’ve had in years, continued low interest rates, and our belief that real estate remains a our most valuable investment.The days of multiple offers that drove sales prices in many regions over the listing price during the buying frenzy of the late 1990’s and early 2000 are gone, at least for the moment. But even though the real estate market has moved from frenzied to stable, it still remains strong. Buyers can now take more time to shop, compare, and look at many houses before making an offer. In real estate circles, that is what is called “a Buyer’s Market”.One of the advantages of the current buyer’s market is that affordability is up. Many people who were priced out in the past few years, such as mid-career professionals and teachers, are finding that they can afford to buy a home now.
