Burlington Realtor Back to Work

I took a sabbatical for much of 2008 to pursue some art hobbies. The time was relaxing. As much as I love my job, it was a bit tough getting back into the swing of things. Since January 1st, I have one new listing and one pending contract, and three serious buyers, one who has put an offer on a home and still negotiating, another who is ready to make an offer today, and a third who just met with me and her loan officer to review the best way to make an offer on a condo. I'm glad to get back into active work mode so quickly but forgot how much time out of the day, showings, offers, inspections, etc can take out of a day.

During my sabbatical I did get my broker's lisence. I have also redone my website Burlington Vermont Homes and Condos and have another new site in the works that should be unvieled at the end of the month. We still deciding what the new site name will be.

I've reviewed the stats for Chittenden County and Burlington for 2008 and home prices were up about 3% over 2007. Home sales were down, but it is good to know that homes are keeping their value.

Happy new year. Make it a prosperouse one.
