Help for first time buyers and other housing market measures will be welcome.

Many of our hot housing markets are transitioning from a sellers' market to a buyers' market.

I'm not a housing market expert, and I don't want to pretend to be one.

The housing market will get worse before it gets better.

There's not a big market out here for housing. You don't find what you need, but you find what you can handle and be comfortable in.

Housing has peaked and we're expecting some moderate weakening in 2006. It's starting to turn into a buyers' market, with fewer buyers chasing more homes at these mortgage rates.
