Outlook for August 2015 in Salisbury MD Real Estate
August is a time when many have their minds on vacations and the start of a new school year, but the Salisbury Maryland area housing market doesn’t slow to a crawl then. In fact, August sales typically will mirror July sales. That said, 85 single family units sold next month would be a good target.
Some close to the Federal Reserve are expecting an upcoming rate hike for the first time in nine years (and subsequent hikes in mortgage rates) and some of those say it will happen in September. Friday’s jobs report release will be a major influence on this line of thinking, but this author is not buying into the “conventional wisdom” and believes the Fed will leave its funds rate where it is the remainder of the year
