I know things don't look good, but please don't panic. Everything runs in cycles. Economies, weather patterns and on and on. We have seen better days and we have seen worse.
I believe the worst thing people can do in situations such as our newest financial mess is to panic and start pulling money out of their accounts. That will only make matters worse!
Believe it or not, it is still a good time to buy. Rates are low and there are tons of homes on the market! Just be smart with your money! Don't take the word of anyone that might tell you if you are approved for a mortgage or not without asking around. Get other opinions! Ask me or any other agent who we would recommend. We like to work with people who we trust and who have come through for us in the past. You might not really have a long lasting relationship with a mortgage lender, but we do. Our business depends on it!
So, be smart with your money and your credit. Credit remains VERY important!
Let me know if you have any questions or need help getting connected with a trust worthy lender.
The number of homes sold for September of '08 compared to September of '07 were lower but the median sale price was about the same.
Number of residential homes sold in 2007 - 427
Number of residential homes sold in 2008 - 302
Total dollar amount sold in Sept. of 2007 - $80,305,852
Total dollar amount sold in Sept. of 2008 - $54,062,011
Median sale price for Sept. of 2007 - $165,000
Median sale price for Sept. of 2008 - $164,450
Median days on the market for Sept. 2007 - 33
Median days on the market for Sept. 2008 - 55
So it shows what most people already see. Less homes are selling but they are not losing value as much as other areas of the country. There are more listings to chose from, bringing prices down and making the median DOM go up.
If you have questions about the current market, please let me know. It is still a great time to buy. Real estate is always a good investment when researched and bought correctly.

As a potential home buyer you may know a Real Estate professional or you might not. I want to take a few minutes and talk to those who have some kind of relationship with a local real estate pro. Whether it is someone you used in the past or maybe someone a friend or family member used and told you about them, they want to help.
If you know someone or know of someone, call them when you want to see something. Many times I hear from clients that say they went to see a house and that they did not want to bother me just to go and look.
That is my JOB! That is part of the process. You don't know what a house is like unless you go and see it!
So, call your agent and tell them what you are thinking. If they say they do not want to help you, then by all means, call someone else!! But, give them a chance to meet you and spend more time with you, even if you are just being a little nosy.
I love to spend as much time as I can with clients. My clients become friends and when they settle on their transaction and we don't see each other as much, it just doesn't seem right.
So, next time you drive by that house that peaks your interest and you haven't even been thinking of selling and/or buying but you want to look at it anyway...CALL YOUR AGENT!
