Portsmouth Real Estate Sales Statistics – February 2009

The National Association of Realtors reported an increase in existing-home sales in February, reversing losses in January. Sales activity, however, remains relatively soft, reflecting additional layoffs and buyers waiting for housing provisions in the economic stimulus package to take effect.

Portsmouth real estate sales did not reflect the national figures, making this a great time to buy a home, if you are looking for a long term investment. Now is not the time to buy and flip…but to buy and hold for 3,4 or 5 years.
