Kay Van Kampen, CDPE, Broker, Springfield Missouri Real Estate

The new Hollywood Theatre College Station opened yesterday in Springfield.

Watching the construction of the newest Hollywood theatre the past few months, I am excited to see the new 14-screen theatre that seats 2000 people open. Revitalization of Downtown Springfield has been an ongoing project for the past several years. Great for any age group, a night out at the movies and dinner are one of the least expensive ways to enjoy a night.

Growing up, the downtown area housed local theatres like Fox,Gilloz and Landers. These beautiful historic buildings are still open and going strong.

Indulge yourself with a night out with dinner and movie and see downstown Springfield.

What kind of offer can I make on a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in Springfield priced at $180,000? It was purchased about 5 years ago and when I searched the previous listing, I found the owners paid only $165,000 for it.

The answer depends on the owners motivation and the amount of improvements they made during the time they have owned it. If the home is priced close to the original selling price, I may have a good buy at $180,000. The decision on how much to offer on any home is difficulto to answer.

Determining your offer price is definitely an art, not a science, but there is a systematic process you can undertake and specific factors you should consider to make your offer with maximum confidence and minimum regret.

There are a number of important considerations that should factor into your decision of what to offer. The biggest considerations is how much you want the home? Many buyers in today's market believe that all sellers are despirate to sell.......this is normally not the case.

There are a number of homes on the market in Springfield, however, the homes that are in "move in" condition, nicely staged and priced at "fair market value", normally sell in the least amount of time.

Lower Gas Prices - Lower Home Prices - Ozark Mo Real Estate

Passing an abandoned convenient store a few months ago, the sign said $3.43 per gallon for unleaded gas. Laughing, with gas prices so much higher, I wondered if we would ever see gas that low again.

Passing the same station today, I am amazed now that our gas prices dropped below $3.43 and are now down to $1.93 $1.86 a gallon for unleaded.

The New York Times published an article today showing the profits of Exxon Mobile Corporation for the end of the third quarter for 2008.
