Hello local readers.
Here are the numbers:
Our Local market contiues to be a buyers playing field. There has been a steady decline of buyers as well as listings. At the end of October we had a new listing inventory of.
40,206 ( 9906 south-side) NEW LISTINGS as compared to 2007 numbers of 44552 (10700 south-side)
and a sale inventory of
16696 (4682 south-side) SETTLED SALES as compared to 2007 numbers of 21009 ( 5647 south-side)
We are much closer to the 2006 inventory levels but well below settles sales levels for 2006.
Over all with a shrinking inventory it would seem that we have a market change, buy look deeper. Buyer traffic is declining still faster than inventory.

Hello Readers,
I just need some insight ! Are you worried about the stock market ? Or are you worried about what others are worried about ? I see some changes here in Virginia Beach. I see $2.89 gas and A gallon of 2% milk at 2.88 at Kroger. Im trying to see what is all the fuss. I know I to have talked with my husband about the economy. I see my own income drop 50% this year but expenses are up. We are doing things like lowering the water heater, not wasting any food, and my all time favorite we will be using the wood stove a lot more this winter. Im concerned but I have to say I think Im more worried about things that are not really hurting me right now. Yes I have lost savings in the stock market and Im experiencing a shortage in the my wallet each month but its not so bad that if I tried to live a more simple life I would have plenty to live on . I think we are so lazy I think we expect so much excess !
Thats my 2 cents today
