September actually show a nice increase in home sale. Wow, does that mean we have reached bottom and it is all up from here?? I'm no guru but I don't think we have seen the end of the housing "crisis" just yet. Way too many foreclosures on the market and many more to come. I don't see housing prices and sales going up till we flush out all these "cheap" homes. If you are a seller, or thinking of selling, you are not out of the woods as yet, so don't hold your breath. I think it is going to take most, if not all, of 2009 to get the market back in shape. If you are a buyer, it is a great time to be buying. Even the increased new home sales in September came with huge discounts and many upgrades. Hang in there, we will get through this terrible time.
