| Summary: This month when compared with the same month in 2008 shows an almost 74% decrease in the total dollars of real estate sold. That is huge and very ugly! If you look at it in number of homes sold it is down by 80%. Clearly this is NOT a good report! Prices have by no means recovered and buyers apear to be very slow to come back to the table and are picking up only the best priced homes. What does this mean to you? If you need to sell and you get an offer (a chance to sell) then sell now and buy while it is still an excellent buyers market and before interest rates increase. If you are thinking of waiting to see if the prices go down even more remember that for every 1% that interest rates go up you will on average have to be able to get the house for 9-10% less just to be at the same place you are today if you have to get a loan. Do the math and you will see it is time to buy. If you are a buyer this is your chance for great selection and great price leverage! Buy but get the home you want and BUY GOOD and then if you stay in it for a few years and you should do just fine if not very well off. If you are interested in marketing your property or are looking for a good deal to buy then just give me a call. Craig Harding RE/MAX Rivergate in Ocoee TN 423-338-7300 or Direct at 423-650-4422 |

| Average Says On The Market (DOM) | 116 | |
| Total Number Of Homes Sold | 76 | |
| Total Dollar Value Of Homes Sold | $11,757,501 |
| Summary: This month is 42.7% worse than last year in terms of dollars or real estate sold and 22.4% worse as far as the number of homes sold. The only small bright spots in this report worth talking about is the days on the market are less this year than last and that the number of homes sold this month was closer to last years numbers than the March numbers. What does this mean to you? Price it right and low than the market to get it sold and get attention in the crowd! This is not the time to play with the market just get your home sold. Remember that for every 1% that the interest rates go up your home becaomes on average 9-10% less affordable for the buy who has a mortgage and thus puts presure on you to need to reduce the price. The big question most sellers forget to take into account is what it will cost me not to accept the offer? Really make sure your house available for every showing possible! Buyers the interest rates are going to go up and probably substantially which will largely erase any gains you think you might get by waiting for the market to adjust down more. Be sure to take advantage of the up to $8000 first time home buyer tax credit when buying as it does not have to be paid back unless you sell in the first three years. Don't forget to take all the factors in to consideration as price is only one of the pieces in the affordability puzzle. If you are interested in selling your property or are looking for a good deal to buy then just give me a call. Craig Harding RE/MAX Rivergate in Ocoee TN 423-338-7300 or Direct at 423-650-4422 |

| Summary: This report looks amazingly great on every account when you first look at it but when you dig deeper you find that while all the numbers are up 12 of the 17 sales where through auction and where properties that sold at a greatly reduced price. As a comparison while last years numbers where not as good only 2 of the 13 properties sold last year in April where auctions. What does this mean to you? If you are a buyer and you are not picky about what you buy then this is a great opportunity to go to some auctions and pick up some super deals. If you are a little more specific about what you want there are some excellent deals on listed properties and the best selection to choose from in year. If you are a seller then take any even remotely close offer you get if it is important to you to get your property sold.

| Summary: This is a poor report. What does this mean to you? Price your property very very aggressively. IF you get an offer then take it very seriously and dont counter for just anything as it is important not to miss a good opportunity. As most people know building is dead for the most part and this continues to hurt land sale big time! If you get an offer and it is anywhere close to what you can accept and you want to sell, then sign the offer and do what they ask.
