Which way market will really go, we have to see… MOst likely due to recent changes in mortgages some buyers will be out of market, without any ability to buy a property, secondly number of new listings coming on a market is picking up again… So if you are SELLER, you have to price your home correctly, if you are a buyer – new listings are not cheaper that few months ago…
