That would be good news for both home sellers as well as potential buyers, many of whom have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for confirmation that the real estate market is truly on the mend before they take the plunge and buy.

Noted housing economist Liz Ann Sonders of Charles Schwab said in a recent report that “we’re seeing a light at the end of the housing tunnel.” The senior vice president and chief investment strategist for the brokerage firm pointed out ...

My husband loves a good burger, he probably enjoys one a week- loaded with bacon, cheddar cheese, the works! I, on the other hand, can take or leave a burger. It seems like a nice treat, something I might enjoy on vacation or for the 4th of July. Well, that was until I had a Five Guys Burger when visiting my cousin in Portland.

Lucky for me, the first ...

Mixed Bag for Bay Area Housing Market, But Buyers Still Out There Housing recoveries – like housing downturns – never move in a straight line. As much as we’d like a clear, fast turnaround, real estate cycles are never that way. They seem to have lots of fits and starts, two steps forward and then one step back.
