Is The Worst Over?

According to the National Association of Realtors, pending home sales jumped by 6.7 percent in April. That was the third straight month of significant increases, and the highest pending sale total for any month in the past seven years. While alot of this was attributed to the sale of foreclosures and short sales, you can’t ignore the numbers…buyers are buying. In cities across the country, home sales are improving. In Las Vegas, one of the cities hardest hit by the housing bust, home sales rose 36 percent in April, the highest increase in over two years. And what happens in Vegas, doesn’t stay in Vegas…it’s just a matter of time before Jacksonville is seeing similar gains. But all this activity comes at a price. Interest rates jumped almost one point in the last two weeks which is the biggest rise in interest rates since 2008. So if you’re thinking about making a move, now may be the time.
