Usually, when the economy is up, so is the real estate market. When the economy is down, people are usually reluctant to spend money, especially on big purchases. Supply and demand also is usually a good indicator. Astute Realtors know “usually” does not mean “always.” No one can predict the market, but they can read the signs to determine where the market might be headed. Consumer confidence plays a role, as do interest rates and time of year. Winter holidays are generally a good time to buy a house. When buyers get distracted, sellers may be tempted to drop their asking price - especially if they’re looking for a quick sale. Finding an agent whose expert advice you can depend on is extremely important in any real estate transaction.
