Local real estate expert Rick McDeid, a resident and realtor in Maple Grove says, This is the best buyers market that we may ever see in our lifetime. People will look back at this time and either wish they had purchased now or be happy they did. McDied has seen a market filled with fear and tentative buying; however, many people on the sidelines are starting to see low interest rates, bargain prices, and special loan incentives as too hard to pass up. One thing is for certain in this real estate market, people who buy now wont have any regrets about the quality of their investment.
