Well, it seems that summer really is starting to draw to a close, with everyone getting in their last summer vacations, and all of the stores are stocked to the rafters with school supplies (of course, that's been the case for a good long while now!).

Although August is typically a tremendously slow month in real estate, generally speaking, in my experience this month (despite the recession) has been pretty steadily busy.

If you think you are in the market, or will be soon, for a new home, though- it's still a great time to buy. There are definitely deals still to be had, but as the market picks up a bit in September, as it often does, that may well change. While there most likely won't be a huge upswing in the market, there are most certainly more buyers in the market than now.

Most importantly, if you're wavering on whether or not to make a move, remember, if you're a first time buyer, the $8000 first time buyer tax credit ends at the end of the year, and that is coming fast!
