Many home buyers base their actions on the daily news and current statistics as dome by analysts on the national level yet they fail to recognize a basic fact. The real estate market is a localized phenomenon that sometimes does not follow the national trends. Metropolitan areas where there is little room for new development has managed to stave of the effects of the sub-prime market and prices have maintained levels. The markets that were much affected was the new house markets where new houses for sale numbered huge fractions of the ones being sold leaving overhead stocks of more that a year’s worth. The 87% foreclosure levels also add to the misery with many houses adding to the fray of unsold houses that have to be disposed of. Try to check and consult local agents for they know the local trends best and may be the best source of real estate knowledge for you.
