First Monday High Country Market Update

I want to make this a quick read for everyone…

 

The Bad: our numbers are still a little below where they need to be for us to have a Terrific spring market.

 

The Good: With the HORRIBLE weather we have had (at least horrible for buyers wanting to look at property), the number of properties Under Contract have risen in the past few weeks. We have had more snow this year than all of last year, and we are anticipating another large snowfall this weekend (and we still have another 2 winter months to go).

Truth about the media in Haiti

People need to know the TRUTH. Don't let media tell you a lie (that only seek ratings, not always the actual truth beyond the scenes).

Doc, Thank you for bringing this to our attention...

RT@wine_to_water Getting PISSED at some media's portrayal of Haitians. On the ground I see a strong loving people trying to rebuild their lives.

Third Monday Market Update

 

For the last several weeks, I have heard many people ask, "What is going on with the market?", or "How is the current market?"

 

Well that is easy to answer. I am excited about the direction our market is headed as we start 2010. The number of properties for sale has been reduced, and projected sales for 2010 give us a great reason to smile. This does not mean that every property is in the clear and prices are going to start going up. But, the Spring market for the High Country has already started.

 

With buyers being a little sluggish in the bad winter weather we had in December, many people have started to step outside and begin looking again. In this area, we expect the market to be extremely busy for the "first time home buyers tax credit" (to qualify, the properties have to be under contract by the end of April, and close by the end of June). And some of these people are looking at properties all the way up to $300,000. This means great things for everyone, as the "first time home buyers", along with our normal Spring market, we have something looking forward.

Technology Trends

Computers are about 30 years old. But, it has been only in the last 5 years where we moved to personal computers. In that time period, we moved from Laptops that weighed 2+lbs to cell phones that are more powerful than desktop computers we purchased 5 years ago.

Third Monday Market Update

Approaching our Holiday Season, we still have very good sales and inventory figures, for this year. Our market has had a reduction in the number of listings; mostly it has been a reduction in the number of land listings. Of course the reduction in land listings has to do with the market conditions and the current ability to finance land.

 

Looking back over the last year, we have been looking at sales figures that are comparable with sales figures before we hit the hardest part of the recession. Our 3-month and 6-month figures are almost the exact same as this time last year, with a 15% difference in our 12-month figures. Also, the number of active listings has been about 500 listing below much of comparable dates from 2008.

 

There is a lot of data that shows where we have been and additional data that projects where we are going. My thoughts regarding both of these is that our market is going to slow down over the winter, which it almost always does, but people who keep there properties on the market over the winter will have less competition than before. There also seems to be a large number of buyers that are looking at less expensive properties as well as a large number that cant seem to commit to making an offer.
