Happy New Year!
It's a brand new year...already...phew! 2009 was a funny year for real estate. Not funny "ha ha" but a little strange in terms of market trends compared to what we've been used to in the past several years. I think everyone, as in realtors within the industry, had different experiences to share for some it was their best and busiest year, for others it was quieter than normal. At the end of the year when things are normally quiet, thus leaving lots of time to get organized for the holidays, I was very busy selling properties. Not only that, they were selling within days, in multiple offers and for well over list price...right up until Christmas Eve! Go figure.
What does this mean for 2010? No one really knows but "they" are saying this is going to be a busy, strong spring market. Fingers crossed. Mortgage rates are still low...and right now so is inventory...that said, it is only January 4th so I'm sure that will quickly change in the weeks to come.
If you have been thinking of buying or selling (or you know of someone who is) this is a great time to get organized and start preparing yourself. Whether you have a home to get ready for sale, looking to find your new dream home or are a first time buyer who has to learn the steps involved in buying real estate I would be happy to walk you through the process, answer any questions you may have or offer you the right advice! I'm just a phone call or email away!
I would like to wish you all a wonderful 2010! And since it's a nice balanced number hopefully it brings you all balance, happiness, health and prosperity in abundance!
