Home Loans Lees Summit CNNmoney.com's Real Estate guide for 2013 recently proclaimed that "Housing is Back!"  The article continues on to say that in some places even bidding wars are taking place on homes.  That means that home prices are edging upwards however interest rates still remain low.  People who found themselves underwater in their current mortgages are starting to get room to breath and that means there are more homes coming on the market.  With all that said there is still a shortage of houses for sale and that means you need every edge you can get when you're looking to purchase a home in times like these. The best 'edge' you can give yourself over another home buyer is to get pre-approved for a home loan. Click here to get pre-approved! Since there are more people looking...
