The number of homes for sale is at a 15-year high. Regardless of price range, there's many homes from which to choose. Approximately 40% of the homes on the market in Brevard County are Short Sales which can be a great buy!

Mortgage rates are at historically low rates for buyers who qualify. And there is now a significant financial incentive with the newly enacted legislation providing a tax credit of as much as $8,000 for first time homebuyers.

There is no reason to sit on the sidelines waiting for a dramatic drop in price. While double-digit appreciation may no longer be the norm, the market is not crashing. Buyers sitting on the the fence risk missing out on the long-term appreciation gains and tax advantages of home-ownership.

Bidding wars are over. Homes are realistically priced to move. There is no need to rush into a pruchase but when you find that dream house, act right away so you don't miss out on it.

Buying a home is an exciting and complex adventure. It can also be a very time consuming and costly one if you're not familiar with all aspects of the process, and don't have all the best information and resources at hand.
