We got back from the national real estate convention with many new ideas we will use to improve our marketing plan and we are ready to go for an exciting year! We learned of some additional websites and social networks to use that will maximize the exposure of our listings. Looking forward we are expecting great things for people that want to own real estate in 2009. This market presents itself with many great opportunities to own a home or investment property. Compared to last year at this time, there are 449 fewer homes on the market (active listings October 2007- 6652, active listings October 2008-6203). Prices are becoming more in line with market value and with interest rates still low, the dream of owning a home is possible.

Our team has taken in two new listings this month and the buyer brokers have placed three into agreements. We are still waiting to hear back on two other bank owned properties that may go together. Showings on our listings have been steady even though they say this is a slow time of year. We are looking forward to a fantastic year ahead and we want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Striving for Excellence!
