This is a busy week. I've had 3 closings with a 4th one on Friday!
I'm excited to tell you that we've been busy. Prices are NOT up but, the market is busy with 1st time and some move up buyers.
I'm seeing more showings on my listings, which is great!
I am really very lucky with the buyers and sellers I work with. I just get to work with the nicest people.
Whether they are 1st time or experienced, It's so much fun to work with the same people over and over again. I even get to work with their children and/or parents. Great fun!
Still looking for people to get started with buying a home...I can just see how it's going to be with November 30 as the deadline...someone is not going to be happy!
If you have been considering a home..the time is right!!
National home sales up 10% in June!
Isn't that a great thing. It has been busy the last few months. I'm really hoping it will stay
busy for awhile. What do you think about extending the buyer credit? I think the whole purpose
was to deplete inventory. We still have more than enough listings. In our area, as of the 2nd quarter,
we have enough inventory to last between 9.2 months and 130 months depending on the price range.
And that is if NO ONE listed another home.
Our GM Plant closed and 170 people have received a transfer to Kansas. Several have gone to Texas
already. It seems that it will be important to have the tax credit extended and/or broadened to all buyers
in order to help our area.
Tell me what your thoughts are??

This week I'm going to be really lucky! I'm working on 4 closings this week! Yes, things are moving.
People always ask me: "Is the housing market improving?" I would say it's holding it's own. We are in a bit harder situation with our GM plant closed and about 170 people moving to the Kansas area. Good news is the construction of the new hospital starting in October. They predict 500 jobs there.
Our office has seen an increase in accepted offers, even showing an improvement over the same month last year. We still need to work together..keep supporting your local businesses as much as you can.
Work hard!
Have a successful week!

So what do you think about this one?? If you're living in Tennessee, I wonder how you feel as well.
It really seems interesting how much money and tax credits were given to them to make them want to
keep the plant in either Michigan, Wisconsin or Tennessee. Have we not given GM enough money to
date? Was this not a game to see how much they could get from Michigan (even though the expected
pick was Michigan)?
How does a failing company have that much leverage?
So here we are starting over yet again. This time I'm hoping it's a blessing that we won't have the GM
threat in our news every so many months like we've had as long as I remember.
Let's get someone in our plant that wants to be here and wants to have a very respectable work force!
So are you looking for a new place to call home? Consider Janesville, WI!
Tax credit for home purchases could rise!

Because we're still trying to get the housing market moving this just may be the best idea to help everyone. What are your thoughts??
