"In the Good Old Summer Time"

July 5, 2011


"In the Good Old Summertime" is a song written in 1902 that continues to be sung at campsites and family times around a piano. It's lyrics begin: "There's a time in each year

That we always hold dear,

Good old summer time. With the birds and the trees'es

And sweet scented breezes,

Good old summer time."

With the celebration of the 4th of July behind us, we now take on our summer plans. Traditionally, summer has been a time when folks decide to look at making a change in their living quarters. As real estate agents, we do not plan vacations in the summer but rather make ourselves available to list and sell properties. This year, with interest rates at all time lows (although they may be rising a tad), home prices at levels that 53% of Inland Empire residents can afford the median priced home, and a reasonable inventory of unsold homes, prospective buyers can have the opportunity to purchase a home.


The "Good Old Summer Time" is the Good Old Home Buying Time. It's when my family always moved. How about you?
