FRIDAY RACE TO THE WEEKEND
This post was inspired by a loved one born in the year of the horse.
While Chinese New Year 2014 will ring in the year of the horse, 2014 is being called the year of the trade up seller, most likely due to sellers' desire to take advantage of low interest rates or to cash out at what might be at least a temporary peak in home prices.
