Chill Settles Over Housing Market

These headlines always amaze once one looks at the body.
snips:

"There's no need for the alarm bells to go off; median prices are just going to come down off very high highs. We're talking about a gain of 12.5 percent that was expected this year to come down to more of about a 5 percent gain in terms of median home price appreciation. So, (there's) more of a leveling off. You have to keep things in perspective here, coming off very high high highs.

"If you are looking to buy, it's still a good time to buy because rates, while they have been edging up, are still low, a little over 6 percent and, if you wait, rates are going to be higher and you could price yourself out of the market. It's a good time to buy now, too, because sellers are getting a little anxious, winter is coming up, it's a very slow season and sellers may we more inclined to give you a better price, certainly better than what was going on in the summertime."
