Most of the surge of homes sales was due to the prices going down, coupled with many mortgage programs that went away Oct. 1st. This increase in sales will not last since most buyers will not qualify for mortgages. September was the buyers last shot at the American dream for many as Fannie, Freddie FHA, VA, and VHDA make more dificult to meet guidelines.
