The numbers are in for the month of May 2010.  Keep in mind that 4/30/10 was the cut-off of ratified contracts to be eligible for tax credit.  They have until 6/30/10 to close - so May/June numbers should be excellent!

Predictions still stand strong that the wave of foreclosures and short sales will continue...making it a GREAT time to buy!  Interest rates have come down even further to help boost the housing market. 

If you, your family, or friends are considering buying a home - I'd be honored to help!  Contact me anytime at 304-261-8517.

Sincerely,

Andrea Burke
