What Does This Year's Real Estate Market Look Like?

This year is starting off hotter than ever, and I'm not just talking about the weather.  People are out wanting to buy with the interest rates so very low.  And sellers are taking advantage of this time knowing that the ball may be in their court if they play their cards right.  The stock market's mood swings have not taken much effect on LA's real estate market.  And developers are still coming out of the wood-works for the opportunity to make a profit on this growing market. So as a home owner, what does this mean?  Well, have you thought of taking your equity and buying investment property?  Or how about selling to finally get into something bigger?  Or perhaps paying rent has you turned you into someone who's just paying another person's mortgage and you're ready to pay your own?  Let's talk about all these possibilities and what it means for you.  And is this the right time for you?
