Just yesterday I touched on this possibility in my stats post for the month.  This morning an article in the Tri-City Herald confirmed my suspicions.

The headline reads like the story is about lending only, but a couple of real estate brokers are interviewed, as well as Jeff Losey, the head of our local Home Builder’s Association.

My favorite quote come from my broker, Dave Retter –

“The problem is everybody wants to wait until the bottom hits. When do we know the bottom’s hit? On the way up,” he said.

EXACTLY.  I know some buyers waiting until the precise right moment.  However, they won’t know when it’s been the right moment until after the moment is gone.

This isn’t a “Ra-Ra, buy today!” message.  This is simply a snapshot of our market at this point in time, and theories about where it’s going.  Enjoy the article.

My husband and I came to the Tri-Cities in 1994, and we thought it would be a temporary stop on our way to larger cities. He was a television sports anchor at the time, and we planned to go wherever the "next step up" took us. Twenty-plus years later, we're still here and we've loved every minute of it! We have two children now, and we've found the Tri-Cities area is a wonderful place to raise a family. It's a great place to do outdoorsy things -- I like to hike Badger Mountain or run along the river path. I also love reading ... by a cozy fire in the winter or a beautiful picture window in the summer (with the A/C on!). I've been a licensed Realtor since 2004. I earned my managing broker's license in 2016, which means I can run my own brokerage, or create a team of real estate agents and supervise them, which is exactly what I did when I formed the Cari McGee Real Estate Team in 2018! We have administrative and marketing personnel, as well as additional agents to serve you. I became a director of the Tri-Cities Association of Realtors Board of Directors in 2016, became Secretary/Treasurer of the organization, and was elected to Vice President in 2019.
