If you have been thinking about selling now is the best time since the spring of 2005.  But, only if you have a property valued under $350,000.  FHA requires just 3.5% down payment, so obviously, there are a lot more buyers in that price segment.  The over $350k market is actually better than it has been because the move up buyers can get their home sold now due to all the first time buyer programs including the $8000 stimulus money.
