The challenges that buyers and sellers face are still there. Obviously holding value is the biggest challenge for sellers in developments or with non-unique homes. And with foreclosures still working through the system it will continue to be a challenge for them. For buyers there are two key issues they have to keep in light. (1) Good Houses sell in any market. If you "sit and wait" it is possible that you will lose the house of your dreams. Thinking that "nothing is selling and you have no pressure to buy" creates a false sense of security. (2) Your bank's terms of prequalification can and will probably continue to evolve as we move through this foreclosure epidemic. How am I using this information to advise clients? Giving them an honest look at the market -- it is still a buyer's market. However, people are no longer afraid to buy houses -- so we need to make sure we are ready and willing to move on the right offer. Thanks again for stopping by Jeremy! Jeremy,

How am I using this information to advise clients? Giving them an honest look at the market — it is still a buyer’s market. However, people are no longer afraid to buy houses — so we need to make sure we are ready and willing to move on the right offer.

Thanks again for stopping by Jeremy!

What do you see the biggest challenges to be for both buyers and sellers moving forward? Obviously, the market doesn't pick up overnight, and it's going to fluctuate, but how are you advising clients with this information?
