The days are here and celebrating with family and friends is a special time. We slow down to appreciate family traditions. Home sales traditionally slow down, too, and this year is no different; however, homes are continuing to sell. Sellers are offering incentives to buyers with credits towards closing costs; credits to upgrades and repairs; or reduced prices. Cash buyers, unaffected by the rising interest rates are waiting for the right opportunity to buy watching for prices to come down. Even those financing a new home took advantage in the slight dip in the mortgage rates a couple of weeks ago.
