Wow! For some reason it feels like the market has fallen off a cliff…..Whatever cycle the market is in there is still a micro-cycle within and we are in what I call the dregs of summer! That being said…our absorption rate for the San Benito County has reached 1 month. We have not seen this number in probably 2 years. Interest Rates remain historically low i.e. around 4.5% but lending standards are tougher than we’ve ever seen. The economy seems worse than what we’re hearing in the news…..Our market values have come down about 58% from the peak so if you can make a purchase…it is an awesome time to buy!
