Warming up... the Lake Sinclair real estate market and the weather

I will work on my full market report for the year 2011 vs. 2010 very soon. I thought it would be done by now, but I've been busy busy busy. Yesterday when out high was only 39 degrees (for those of you who know me, I do NOT love cold) I was out showing property. They were REOs and I was miserable. But when a client wants to see property in the cold or the in the rain they are usually serious about purchasing a home.

But what I did check on today when I was making sure the house was still available in the MLS before I emailed the agent to double check was that in 2012 thus far we have had seven properties go to pending status. So I did a quick check and discovered it was only three in the first 4 days of 2011. Better than a 100% increase. I think it would be great if we could keep it up the rest of the year.

That property I was inquiring about was indeed still available and I was thrilled. I wrote an offer on it for my client this afternoon and emailed it over to the listing agent. Perhaps it will make the pending list tomorrow. The rest of the week the weather will be warming up so if you want to find that perfect lake house or first home we won't have to bundle up as much. Give us a call and we'll be happy to show you property & recommend a lender who can help you get a quick approval so you'll be prepared to make that offer before the property is gone like my client did today.
