The local market has picked up dramatically.  Homes priced below 125k are  making up 75% of all sales in the county.  several things are driving this.  Low interest  rates, plentiful selection, low or no down payment loans, home buyer tax credit and prices we have not seen in years.  The other promising sign is the commercial real estate market is beginning to show signs of life.  Vacant land is still quite but that will likely change as existing home inventory declines.  Till next time, Happy house hunting!
