Buying under $500K has picked up. Local statistics when they come out will reflect this. First time buyer's in the $300K prices are competing on properties. Multiple offers are the norm for a nice home. If buying is on your mind or if you have been waiting for the bottom, well, the bottom for a lot of buyer's is here. We all pick our spots and hope for the best. I can help you get to some of the properties going fast. Call me and see what I am working on.  Ed Carroll Jr 310-251-9999
