Are you a buyer, seller, or investor? Which ever category you fall into, chances are you've been frustrated at one time or another with this market. Today's home prices are lower now than they ever have been. The Desert Sun compares prices to those of 2003 but I believe home prices are closer to 2001. How often do you have the opportunity to step back into time?   Believe it or not, some buyers are very frustrated with today's market.

As well, a newer residence will be current with all modern safety and fire codes, offering you superior protection from unforeseen events.
