It has been a busy spring and early summer. As of June 23, 2012, there are 35 single family homes listed as Under Agreement in Canton, with several more with accepted offers, waiting for contingencies to clear. Some of those will be closing in June and others will be closing in July.
For Sellers looking to sell, in spite of what the average price looks like, it is a good time to sell. There are buyers out there looking. If you have your home priced well and it is in good condition, it is likely to sell quickly.
For , the interest rates remain at historic lows and the home prices are still attractive. Get your finances in order and make sure to get a mortgage preapproval from a well-qualified mortgage lender so you are ready to take advantage of the rates and prices.
