Garbler’s got it right. Plus, there’s a shortage of low end homes bascuee the back log of REO’s that haven’t been released onto the market. That shortage has got people bidding up prices on the lower end homes with agents egging them on with reports of hitting the bottom and you better buy now .It’s not a bad time to buy if you can get a good deal but don’t get into any bidding wars. There should be more inventory as we get into the summer.
