Incentives aim to stimulate housing market

COLUMBIA — Sheri Radman walks about the kitchen, scans the dining room and moves into the living room of a home recently listed with her agency in east Columbia.

“They did a great job with this one,” she said about the staging. “This one should go quick.”

This is a strong forecast in this real estate market, knowing there are significantly more sellers than buyers.

The home is indeed immaculate — spacious rooms, updated appliances, contemporary furnishings and neutral paint. Most important, it’s devoid of clutter.

“The climate is good, interest rates are down and there are incentives out there for home buyers,” she said.
