Real estate experts said despite the increase in September sales, the real estate market is likely to suffer along with the rest of the economy.
September’s figures reflect home purchase decisions that were made in mid- to late-summer, before the dramatic worsening of the nation’s economic crisis in recent weeks, said MDA DataQuick president John Walsh.
“Over the next few weeks our sales data will begin to show how the meltdown in financial markets this fall has impacted housing demand,” Walsh said in a statement.”
