"Fish or Cut Bait" Among Other Things

Dallas is suffering from buyer paralysis. Home buyers have heard about the horrific real estate doom and gloom for so long that now they now are going to "wait it out". Question: What are you waiting for? Interest rates to rise? Inventory to get smaller. Which means not only less homes to choose from but possible multiple offer situations. This article from Realtytimes.com addresses this issue.

"...you have plenty of housing inventory from which to choose. Sales are slow, so sellers are offering thousands of dollars in incentives to tempt you to buy. Prices are flat. Interest rates are still historically low. Sounds to me like the buyer who has been waiting on the sidelines needs to get off the fence and pull out his checkbook."

I couldn't have said it better myself.
