I am glad to say that I see signs and conditions that are leading to a true recovery of real estate in Raleigh.  Rates are rising and that should get some people off the fence.  The supply is dwindling and the foreclosures are steady and projected to decrease in 2012.  I think it is safe to say that what you buy today will be worth more next year this time.  TIME TO BUY PEOPLE>>STOP THE RENTING CYCLE and begin saving money on your living cost.
