If you understand anything about economy as a whole, one thing remains a fact. It’s all a bunch of cycles. Well real estate is no different.

I believe that this video will give you some perspective on the direction of the market and the possible opportunities. More importantly, how can you as a buyer, seller or real estate professional benefit from this?

Total existing-home sales1, which are completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, rose 5.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.35 million in May from an upwardly revised 5.09 million in April. Sales have now increased year-over-year for eight consecutive months and are 9.2 percent above a year ago (4.90 million).
