GCAAR in the News: DC Housing Market Looks Good: Bonnie Casper Tells Fox 5 News
Fox 5 News interviewed GCAAR President, Bonnie Casper, on the DC housing market. Bonnie made a strong case for both buyers and sellers in the DC metro area, saying, "it's not often you can say it's both a buyer's market and a seller's market, but interest rates are low, there's not a lot of inventory, and I would say that it's always better to deal with the market you know than the market you don't know."
