While the September REALTOR® Price Index was also down again for the third straight month, it was up compared to this past August.“Uncertainty continues to be the theme echoed by REALTOR® members who responded to the September housing survey,” said 2010 MAR President Kevin Sears, broker/co-owner of Sears Real Estate in Springfield. “While their expectations on prices are down from last year, when activity amidst the first-time homebuyer tax credit was gaining critical mass, the RPI is up from August, most likely due to dropping interest rates.”
