I would be the last person to claim to have a "crystal ball" insight into the future of our housing market but the signs we are seeing now seem to point upwards.

In fact, I have been busier in the last two months than I have been in a while.  It seems as though there is a growing feeling among Buyers that the time to strike a great deal is starting to run out.  That may be true.  The fact is that there are still great bargains out there and Sellers who are anxious to move their property.

For example, I have talked with many a Seller that has pined that had they sold their house a year ago they could have gotten a higher price for it.  Conversely, I believe that in the not too distant future I will be having similar conversations with Buyers:  "Boy I could have gotten a really good deal in 2008!"

Either way the end result is that if you are out looking at property in the St. Augustine Area this may be the best time to write up that offer.  As I always say, it doesn't cost you any money to make an offer, but you will learn where the Seller stands.
