iStock_000011097988XSmallIt’s hard to believe it’s almost time to turn the calendar to a new year. When it comes to the national real estate market, 2013 was impressive, with home values rising and interested buyers finally feeling comfortable enough to get back in the game. Bidding wars and diminished inventory characterized the market for much of the year, and the momentum carried well into the fall. In 2014, there is a variety of real estate conferences being held around the country. Mark your calendars and get ready because it’s bound to be another busy year!
