Market Summary:

Volume is up; Prices are up. 

Mortgage interest rates continue to rise, so if you’re looking to make a real estate investment in the next few months, it is profitable to lock in your loan interest rate now (ask me for details on how to do that) so you don’t end up paying more each month for the same property.
