Market Turning? Say it's so, Shane. Say it's so.

Anyone else remember the last scene from the movie Shane?? What does this have to do with Real Estate. Very little it seems. Just babbling about what appears to be the start of better times for Realtors in our area.

Prices have started to correct (waaaay past time in my opinion). Offers are getting accepted, and there is a general increase in "true" seller motivation in some circumstances. Add in the extension of the First Time Home Buyer credit which was expanded to include some "NOT" FTHBs (*Click for Details), and things are much improved here in our industry.

2009 is closing out, and it seems to be propped up for a high at the end. Still too many vacant homes and still too many overpriced properties in the mix to be anywhere near a healthy market. But homes are finally getting contracts and many are actually closing.

Note: Virtually all of the sales reported recently have been at prices significantly below asking price. It is a great time to buy...... More to come..

Another Good Example of Potential Huge Value and long term appreciation. I won't get into the story (don't want to have anyone crying)< but this is an example of big losses on big losses and now ultra motivated. (A property investment of over $200K and a "fire type sale" listing price of of $84,000. (Link below photo)
