| Market Commentary Provided by Susan Rahn Associate Broker Don’t miss the boat!!! Rates are still at historical lows; inventory (and thus your choices) is starting to decrease; and the $8k tax rebate goes away as of December 1, 2009. You have to have closed on the house by then and we are seeing days to get to closing increase because of lender backups (allow 45-60 days after you are under contract). DON’T WAIT!!!!! If you can qualify, now is an exceptional time to buy a home in White Marsh. Call now for more information at 443-854-0633 |
