Investment and Real Estate

73% of people believe now is a good time to buy, while 15% believe it’s a good time to sell
69% feel real estate is a good investment despite the market conditions over the past few years

The national median home price is up 9.5% from a year ago and home prices are expect to increase 1.1% over the next year.  So overall, the general outlook on real estate looks promising.  Sales have increased in the past month, interest rates are still low, and home prices are slowly on the rise.  The market is in a great place!
