There was an article in the Greater Wilmington Business Journal today titled "Home sales forecast sunny". It looks as if we are having a great start to 2012 on the home sales.  Realtors sold more than 2,600 homes last year according to Wilmington Multiple Listing Service.  It appears the housing inventory is also shrinking, MLS data shows 24% down from this time last year. We are hopeful that the market will be better this year, but right now we are at pre 2003 prices.  With rates down and prices reduced it is prime time to buy!
