Navigating the Current Housing Market
05/07/2009 at 10:00 a.m.
There are houses for sale all over Puget Sound, and many are not selling. For families facing foreclosures or trying for a short sale, this isn't good news. How do we compare with the rest of the country? The number of first–time home buyers has risen. Are some people benefiting from the glut of homes? If you're selling your home, what questions do you have? Is it a good time to buy? How do you navigate the new interest rates, refinancing and home buyer's bonuses? If you have questions on foreclosures, real estate and your finances, this is the hour for you.Guest(s)
