US Home Sales Hit 13-Year Low in 2010

The number of people who bought previously owned homes last year fell to the lowest level in 13 years, NAR, The National Association of Realtors reported on Thursday.

High unemployment and a record number of foreclosures are main reasons why potential buyers are not willing to buy houses, fearing that home prices haven't reached the bottom.

The local Brooklyn NY area has, of course, the same trend.

"We built too many houses during the boom, and now after the crash, it will take us a long time to get back to normal," said David Wyss, the chief economist at Standard & Poor's in New York.

The National Association of Realtors reported Thursday that sales dropped 4.8 percent to 4.91 million units in 2010. That was slightly fewer than in 2008, which had been the weakest year since 1997.

Reading this news, you may be wondering, "I must sell my house now. Can I really sell it fast in this kind of downturn housing market?"

The answer is a big YES! In Any Market, things sell if they are priced right. If you must sell your house fast, and if you can negotiate the price, there will be a buyer.
