While this may have been a common occurance last year, 2010 has a promising outlook, like a fresh morning, to be the bottom of the housing slump and maybe even the start of the recover.
Most analysts predict the real estate and housing market will slow, if not stop, the decline in prices and possibly begin to rise steadily by the end of the year.
Near the end of 2009 we saw prices in some areas begin to stall, and even rise a little before retracing their steps back into decline.
Remember, no analyst (or Mayan) can gaurantee the future, only predict it.
It might be time to get back in the market and purchase a residence or investment, or put your home up for sale.
Whatever you do, keep your shades handy… Because the future looks bright!
