Home prices on the average have been at a stand still during the last year, but please do not expect this phenomenon to last much longer. Most real estate experts are predicting interest rates to go down only slightly during the summer and fall months. Combined with the current cut-back in new home building and inflation running at 13% annually, home prices will ex­ plode. There will be a shor­ tage of homes for the built up demand created in 1979. This is the reason we say 'There will never be a better time to buy a home than right now." We have a number of homes available for the first time home buyer, as well as an excellent selection of second homes and waterfront property. Why not come in and see your full service broker.
