Agent's Note: We had a great month in June. Sales were expected to slow over the next few months with the June expiration of the tax credits. July was better than I had projected. It is encouraging to see the Pending Home Sales remain the same for June and July. We also have encouragement for Sellers with the lower Inventory Rate. Don't worry Buyers! You are still able to take advantage of interest rates at 50 year lows. This means, for most buyers, you can afford more house within your monthly budget.
