The bond prices are an issue she is giving close attention. Right now, a preowned is looking much sweeter than a new with a $50-80 thousand bond. She would rather spend that money remodeling an older home to suit her taste than carrying a 30 yr bond fee that gives her no benefit. A home between the 66's is her desired location.

It is a confusing market considering they continue to sell within their average of 70-100 homes a week.

I wouldn't be surprised to see prices go back up once Danby is sold out and Richmond/Eastport homes becomes available.

Good luck to your daughter in her search.
