Summary: This month is 34.9% worse than last year in terms of dollars or real estate sold and 32.9% 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. 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: The market for land is terrible and will continue to be that way until demand for new homes returns. The total dollars of land sold this month compared to last year for the same month is down over 54.4%. That reflects a very absent new construction market and real opportunity for builders and buyers to reposition themselves by negotiating land prices to a level that allows them to build and compete in the price range of our market today. What does this mean to you? Take any even remotely close offer you get if it is important to you to get your property sold.
