In real estate news, the market is softening.  There are still homes getting multiple offers and over asking price but we’re not seeing the frenzy that we saw in the spring.  It’s important to have an agent that will keep you informed on how those changes affect you and keep expectations realistic.  There isn’t a drop in prices but things are leveling out which is what the market desperately needed.  We are still in a sellers market and we have a ways to go before the demand slows down but things are moving in the right direction!  Give me a call if you’d like to know more about the market.
