As we see the seasonal buyer pull back for November and December combined with the low interest rates, it is going to make the last quarter of 2012 a great time to buy a home as inventory levels start to creep up from record lows.
I am not just saying that as a cheesy Realtor. Here is why; right now we are seeing a seasonal pull back from buyers, combined with all time low interest rates it is the perfect storm for buyers right now. The competition is dwindling, after the new year, many of the buyers I am working with are planning on starting up their home search again and I do not foresee the inventory levels shooting up over night. I do see them gradually increasing, however I do not see the inventory keeping up with demand. I see next year being really busy!
