FORECAST: Employment is surging in the area, so I suspect the home buying to continue for the time being. Prices have started to slow down since school began, but there are still multiple offers for well-priced properties. Now would be a great time get into your first property or move up to a larger property. Interest rates have actually dipped since the last time I updated you, and I’m not certain they will rise anytime soon.

RECAP:
The chart below shows that cities east of highway 880 are still experiencing a very high demand for housing.

For Comparison: Sales in the cities west of highway 880 are slowing down slightly.
