Wednesday, April 6th, 2005
The Pennsylvania Association of REALTORS® has released "THE PAR ECONOMIC REVIEW For the First Quarter 2005" . Author of the study is Dr. Jacob De Rooy, who teaches economics and finance and Pennsylvania State University at Harrisburg. Says De Rooy:
"The economy will continue to have healthy growth, with only moderate inflation. Home construction will decline and competition within the real estate sector may intensify. Mortgage rates will trend upward. But a financing program that uses adjustable rates for a few years and a fixed rate thereafter may be attractive. A housing price bubble is unlikely."
