Altadena Real Estate Market: When the housing market peaked back in 2006, no one really thought about a long housing bust lasting up to 5 years. However, we are seeing indications that it’s a great time to buy. Why? For starters, the mortgage interest rate has been around 4.5% the first week of June 2011. And, the lower home prices make it affordable for buyers who have been carefully waiting on the side lines.
