Facts on Banson Missouri Real Estate Market

With the ever increasing "bad news" in the media, people losing their jobs, more homes being lost into foreclosure. 2008 could seem to some as being the worst year for real estate sales ever! From the research done by our Tri-Lakes MLS Board of Realtors, it shows that our market has decreased from 2007, but not much by price-more by volume (see stats below). Even though we can still feel the effects of uncertain buyers and homes on the market longer than before, Branson is still a very popular. With a bad market in other areas of the country it may take a buyer longer to move if they have a home to sell....Others may be waiting for the bottom to drop out before buying. Whatever the situation may be, it's always smart to examine the facts. That's why I am posting this market report to educate buyers & investors interested in Branson, MO>
