If you’ve been thinking (or dreaming) of owning a home at the Shore, the next 6 months may represent the best time in years to make a purchase!
Prices have come down 20-30% from the highs of 2004, and mortgage interest rates have dropped over 2 percentage points in the past 2 – 3 months.
The combination of these two factors makes purchasing a home at the Shore more affordable than it’s been in years!
