June?2013?????????????????????????????????The Spring Market is coming to an end with Summer starting at the end of this week. Sales are brisk and buyers are still out looking. We are seeing competition on some properties and there are even some escalation clauses. Interest rates have started to rise although they still remain at historically low levels. It seems that buyers are jumping off the fence to purchase before prices rise more and rates increase more.Please see the articles in the right hand column about rising interest rates and why sellers should not wait because they think values will go up further.
