How Is The Cowlitz County Real Estate Market?

How is the Cowlitz County real estate market?

Not a day goes by without someone asking me about how the real estate market is doing. When I talk to past clients, people that I know or even when I meet someone as soon as they find out that I am a REALTOR some of their first words out of their mouths are how is the real estate market? I am getting use to answer the same question over and over every day which I really don't mind, I enjoy talking about my job and part of my job is to know how our local real estate market is doing.

With all the daily negative national and local advertising everywhere about how bad the real estate market is, how the lending industry is going under (many, many lending institutions been forced out of business) and how the government has come to rescue some of the biggest players in the lending industry and other related to real estate in the way of collapsing due to the bad real estate market, I am not surprise that real estate and related issues are on everybody's minds at this time and age.

Well, for those of you who haven't had the chance to ask me about how the local real estate market is doing, I am going to tell you if you care to keep reading. The Cowlitz County real estate market is not as active as we would like it to be or as it was a year or two years ago but is still moving, believe it or not homes are been sold daily in our local market. Cowlitz County real estate market is not dead or as bad as many people I talked to believe it is, prices are dropping and interest rate are still historical low and many people are taking advantage of this opportunity because they know is not going to last for ever.

There you have it, now you know that our Cowlitz County real estate market is moving and doing good considering the down economy the Country is facing right now. So, if you are a home buyer on the fence waiting for home prices to hit bottom now is a good time to take action before prices and interest rates go up.
