* A major contributing factor to the decline in SF home sales is the harsh 08-09 winter the incentive to look at homes is diminished greatly with piles of snow and 0-20 degree weather. Relief of this WNY fact of winter life will help drive the market into the spring and summer months.

For New York home buyers there may never be a better time to buy a home than today. Today's market boasts improved affordability, historically low mortgage rates and a great inventory of homes to choose from. Plus first time home buyers have added benefit of a new $8,000 federal tax credit.
