Buying Albany Homes For Sale

For many people - the housing market today represents the single greatest opportunity in a generation! Prices are down (as much as 30% or more in some markets), Interest rates are at historic lows (hovering around 4%) and these conditions are expected to remain this way for the near future. But - as students of history KNOW - the housing market is a cycle and will likely repeat itself again in the next 10-15 years.
