Springfield Missouri Real Estate Market Statistics as of Oct 31, 2009. As you can see, the absorption rates vary widely by price range. The lower price ranges are down to less than 26 weeks which indicates a more balanced market or even trending towards a seller's market.

The higher priced homes are still a buyer's market with much higher supply than demand. If you would like to know what the rate is in your neighborhood or specific price range give us a call today! Springfield Missouri Real Estate

We just put a house under contract in Springfield Missouri that was a very good deal. I won't divulge the price or address to protect the parties involved but I can say that it sold for 54% of what it sold for a few years ago! This is a bank owned property. Of course we can't guarantee all homes will sell this cheap, but there are some deals being made.

Yes, the carpets are trash, but underneath the carpet is beautiful hardwood floors! The home needs paint and some cosmetic repairs but it will be a wonderful home with a little care.

If you are looking for a "fixer upper" there are some great deals out there. Also, if you are looking for a higher price range home, there are some great deals there too that don't need updating. We can show you foreclosure properties and other homes that meet your needs. Now is a great time to invest in property for your home or as an investment.

A lot of people ask us if it's a good time to list a home in Springfield Missouri for sale during the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's seasons. The weather is turning colder, days are getting shorter, and people's minds are on the holidays. Is this really a good time to list your home? Absolutely! It's indeed a great time to sell your home!

Homes that are decorated for the holidays are warm and inviting. Greenery on the fireplace or stair rail, a Christmas tree with shiny ornaments and lights, and a few red poinsettias can really make buyers see the attractiveness of your home. During an open house we can even serve hot apple cider to the buyers looking at your home!

Buyers this time of year are fewer in number but you can rest assured they are more serious buyers and not just window-shopping. People who brave the cold weather to look at homes and give up holiday shopping days are ready to buy. The end of the year is when most companies transfer employees to new jobs and locations. They are ready and motivated to buy! There are also fewer homes listed for sale in the Ozarks this time of year so it means you have less competition from other properties similar to your home! When your home sells, we can schedule the closing out far enough to give you plenty of time to find a new home. Of course we look forward to finding you a new home too!
