The number one question I am asked as a real estate agent is....yes you know what it is "Karen, how's the market"? That is a very general question, a loaded question because the "housing market" is vast. It pertains to the "seller" to the "buyer" to the "investor with deep pockets", and to the banks. When I say banks I don't just mean the lendors, I am also referring to the banks who are holding the notes to the forclosured properties. So you see the question has to be more specific. Are you buying? Are you thinking of buying an investment property? Are you thinking of selling? So with the #1 question that is directed toward me I have to return with the above questions to give an answer.
I will say this in todays housing market the public has so much information at their fingertips to educate themselves, but it is always wise to consult with a professional real estate person. You will be correctly directed in your real estate needs. So, I love that #1 question to be asked to me, it opens up lots of real estate converstation, which is my passion.
