CD'A MARKET SUMMARY
Here's how I recommend responding.
If you're a buyer, inventory is on your side. Dive in, pick up a property with a low purchase price and possibly concessions and wait to refinance. Be cautious about asking for too much in terms of upfront credits on those most desirable homes in order to win the offer.
​
If you're a seller who has to move, list at a sensible price and be prepared for 60-80 days on the market. But if you want top dollar watch these interest rates and wait for them to come down and prices in turn will rise. It might take 18 months but that's just the reality of where we're at.
