As for prices and interest rates, don't expect any significant drop off in housing values. While rates briefly jumped into the upper 4% range, the markets have calmed down and rates fell accordingly. In most markets in the DC area, we are continuing to experience an extreme shortage of available homes. This is a sellers market in most areas.

Whether you buy now or in 2014 is your choice. I expect the prices to continue to increase due to low inventory. Your bigger concern should be interest rates. A 1% increase in rates will significantly affect your payments. Consult your loan officer for more information.

This sounds like a realtor or a loan officer.
