Just want to give a quick note to our readers....my opinion on the current market is that we probably are at bottom.  Active inventory is starting to decrease and pending sales are increasing.  I think this is in large part due to low interest rates and low home prices.  Unfortunately, I don't think we'll see sizable appreciation at least for several years.  While this lack of appreciation isn't a selling point for buyers, the low interest rate potential for 30 years makes it an outstanding time to buy!
