Market Update

Many buyers are seeking more house for their money. It does however involve a longer commute if you have to drive toward D.C. New homes here are large and well appointed. You can also find nice more affordable homes in the well established sections of the county.

There are many homes to choose from! Sellers are understanding of the 'new' market conditions & are ready to sell. We are seeing an increase in viewings and contracts!

It's still very much a buyer's market in Frederick County/Winchester area. The prices in some areas have fallen because of the buyers playing hardball with the sellers and there is a lot of inventory for a potential purchaser to choose from.

Today's buyers are looking for homes that are ready to move into where they would have minimal work to do as far as repairs are concerned. Houses that have been upgraded are guaranteed to sell faster than those without upgrades. For example: Granite, stainless steel, freshly painted and hardwoods are the words the buyers want to hear.

It takes a strong realtor to negotiate well on behalf of a seller to get a good price for their home. In this market it is very important to market each home to their fullest potential.

In 2008, I have been selling my listings faster than most. I am looking for new clients to benefit from my high technology and strong customer service levels.
