I often talk to people about homes in Deercreek, potential buyers and sellers. Is it a good time to buy or sell? Are the prices going to continue to increase? How do you think the election will affect the market? Will interest rates continue to be this low? My answer, based on my professional opinion, is it is always a good time to buy or sell if you want the change in your lifestyle. No one knows if the prices will continue to increase, although with many people moving to Florida, there is a good chance the number of homes available will be reduced, which increases prices. The election will affect the market, no doubt. Interest rates may continue to be this low for a period of time, yet history shows us they will increase.
