No Help for High End Homes

“Unlike for the entry-level housing market that is enjoying low interest rates and high demand, the government has not come to the rescue of the high end market,” said Michael Lyon, CEO of Lyon Real Estate. “Buyers looking at homes priced above $750,000 are short on choice for lenders and loan options. As a result, standing inventory levels in the high end are now above two years and growing.”
