With the combination of low interest rates, higher inventory and settling market values (in most communities), this is a great time to consider making a move to a larger home. How long will this market last? No one knows for sure, but, historically, prices and interest rates typically move up faster than they fall, so we may not have this type of a market opportunity again for quite some time.
