In the Microsoft area, the number of price reductions again proved how important it is to be the best priced home and in the best condition when compared to the competition. The number of available homes remained steady, but near the high end of inventory for the year. For buyers, there are great selections with fabulous interest rates. Again, if you are buying, plan to stay at least 3-5 years in your home.
