We have witnessed a significant buying surge in the fourth quarter of 2008 due to rock bottom housing prices coupled with fantastic interest rates on mortgages It has been a very unusual and controversial year in the financial markets with the real estate market being directly affected

The end of the year is upon us with the holiday’s right around the corner It has been a very interesting, volatile and bumpy ride with the economy, stock market, Presidential election and real estate crisis
