SHOULD I BUY?
The housing market continued to favor buyers in 2012 with low prices and low mortgage rates. Those with good credit scores and sizeable downpayments successfully became home owners.
The growth in the housing market continued to be fueled by strong sales in higher-priced segments of the market as supply shortages remained a constraint on sales in the lower price segments. The unsold inventory index at 3.1 months was at the lowest level since August 2005.
The housing market has been turning around and 2012 is shaping up to be a transition year. The share of non-distressed sales has increased to its highest point (63 percent) in over three years, when these types of sales made up only about 30 percent of the market (in January 2009). This reflects a housing industry returning back to healthier conditions. This is especially evident in the sharp drop in REO sales from 60 percent in January 2009 to about 12 percent in September 2012.
