NOW is the time to BUY, and NOW is the time to SELL. Here’s why: ⁣

BUYERS: Not only are prices finally cooling off, but mortgage rates are inching upwards. That means now is the time for you to lock-in current rates before they creep higher and, at the same time, scoop up the home you've been dreaming of!⁣ You can always refinance when the rates drop again.
SELLERS: Inventory is entering the market every week, so now is the time for you to get your home ready ahead of the others lining up for the MLS.
