Activity seems to be picking up dramatically in the past three-four weeks. We have noticed buyers are starting to appear at open houses and when we track website hits, as well as hits on individual listings on several websites, we have been noticing a steady increase lately, which usually is a good predictor of future buyer activity. And we are getting homes in contract and closing them. Here in Mount Vernon and Knox County, we are creating our own "stimulus package".

I am fairly new to Twitter but I can positively say that I am already a huge Twitter fan. The initial concept of a 140 character message seemed like a weak way for me to communicate with others especially when a single tweet is smaller than a cellular text message. After investing a couple of nights watching and exploring Twitter I quickly saw some very powerful interaction taking place.

One of my primary goals with Twitter is to become the local conduit of information for people who are interested in knowing what is taking place within Knox County. I will certainly be providing regular information on our local housing market with details on pricing, trends, availability, absorbtion rates and other general and specialized real estate information on Knox County. Because Twitter is a social network I will also be tweeting about community events, music, Corvettes, car shows, photography, boating at the Apple Valley Lake, sporting events and I will even Tweet about some cutting edge digital technology from time to time.

2008 was a fairly active year for the Mount Vernon Ohio housing market. Every January I complete a very detailed real estate market study and I research more than 50 different searches using the Knox County MLS service. The most important report I do each year is the residential home sale "State of the Market" report. This report reveals specifically which home price ranges were hot and which prices ranges were soft.

The Mount Vernon Ohio real estate market saw 211 residential homes sell in 2008. The accumulative dollar volume of Mount Vernon homes sales was $22,261,688 in combined sales volume according the the Knox County Ohio Multiple Listing Service. The 2008 average sales price for a home that sold in Mount Vernon was $105,506 with the highest residential home selling at $425,000.
