What does this mean for home sellers in zip code 70094?  There is  reason to believe that 2008 is starting out, if not like a firecracker, at least like a sparkler!  Remember though, that the best priced homes in the best condition will be the first to sell.  Resist the temptation to “test the market” with a high listing price or you may be left behind while homes surrounding yours sell.

What does this mean for West Bank home buyers?  The time to sit back and see what happens with the market is fading.  As more buyers enter the market, there will be more competition for the best choices in homes.  Don’t miss out on your dream home by waiting – call your mortgage lender today and get pre-approved before beginning your house hunt.  If you need a referral to a local mortgage professional, feel free to call me at (504) 616-6262 or send me an email at lisa@lisaheindelsells.com.
