2013 is Over, Now What?
As 2013 started we saw a recovery with the real estate market about as interesting as watching paint dry. But as the 2nd quarter started we started to see the new light of day. By the 3rd quarter we were seeing numbers the real estate market hadn't seen since the 2008 crash. The fourth quarter hit so many records in real estate that it had many experts predicting another real estate bubble.
As we've said many times in our blogs, things are much better in today’s market, and there is still time to start investing in real estate. Home prices are inching up. Sales are rebounding. And while foreclosures are still a problem, they are much less of a problem than in early 2009. There’s a lot of positive news about housing all over the recent news.
While most investors are interested in their local market, we encourage all investors to look at the big picture. Something all investors need to stay aware of. Not to say that we don't encourage you educate yourself on your own market; this is important as well. What are your 2014 real estate predictions? Here are several outlets on opinions of real estate trends and what the market for 2014 has in store for investors in real estate.
