In Covington there are 852 single family homes on sale now in all price ranges. The median comparables sale price for the most recent 3 months is $85,000 versus $90,375 for the prior 7-12 months.
In my opinion, there has never been a better time to buy due to a combination of "for sale" inventory, low interest rates, federal tax credits up to $8,000 for first time home buyers and state tax credits if closed by 11/30/09! These factors will not last forever you can be sure. In Covington, for example the months supply of housing for the current 3 months has dropped to 8.6 from 12.8 in the prior 7-12 months.
