        <Summary>Price reductions, financial market news, and a look at some special listings</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;There are twenty-five price reductions showing up today&lt;/i&gt; in the Northern Arizona Multiple-Listing-Service. Flagstaff home sellers are anxious to get their properties sold before Spring turns to Summer. The reality of our real estate market is coming home to most sellers and they are willing to work with buyers. Still, as explained in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="public/item/205927"&gt;real estate market report&lt;/a&gt; earlier this week, home buyers in Flagstaff are not entirely in the driver&amp;rsquo;s seat &amp;ndash; at least not in the lower price ranges.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Mortgage Market Update" href="public/blog/178438" target="_blank"&gt;Today&amp;rsquo;s economic news and financial market reports&lt;/a&gt; create more uncertainty for buyers. Initially, home loan rates moved down on news of higher unemployment. But the price of oil shot up and inflation fears are likely to keep those interest rates moving up from their still very attractive levels around 6% for 30-year fixed conventional loans. Buyers who intend to buy in the next twelve months may look back and see that June 2008, was the best time in terms of interest rates and possibly for home selection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Team Heitland at RE/MAX Peak Properties&lt;/b&gt; has listings in nearly every price category in the Flagstaff market. We can help buyers with any property for sale in and around Flagstaff. &lt;b&gt;Here are some of our featured listings:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Great student condo:&lt;/b&gt; 2 bedroom, 2 bath.
