TESTING OUT VIDEO PODCAST. OKAY NOT REAL ESTATE RELATED BUT FUN. Hope you enjoy the break and see how funny my family can be
I think we more stable in this current market than we have been in the last few months. That is not to say prices are increasing or turning around just that the over all sales activity indicate the mass decline may be over
The number of active residential listings was actually lower year-over-year by more than 5%. Of course this points to more competition in competing homes.
9% of the sale were short sale or bank owned this is an increase from 3%. CAN you say BARGAIN shoppers !!
Residential inventory for housing increased to 10.4 months in May.
Settled residential sales has increased each month since January 2009. In May, foreclosure properties comprised 16.3% of settled residential sales. Foreclosures have been holding steady between 14.6% and 17.2% each month.
Pending sales are up.
May 2009 Highlights Listings: Residential active listing count went up slightly from 14,326 (Apr 09) to 14,401 (May 09) a 0.5% increase, but it is down year-over-year by -5.2%.
Sales : Total Residential Sales were down by -10.36% as compared to May 2008 (1,531 vs. 1,708).

While women still don’t make as much as a man we are dominating the workforce and voting booths Its only going to be a matter of time before the tables tip. Listen to these important facts. To be fair to my wonderful Husband. I still will take his decisions with in our home as I feel the good Lord is first then my husband is next.

Listing to my 5 minute summary of how 70 days of negotiations finally ended up in a sale. Thanks to a great buyers agent and contractor who were willing to risk thier time and money to get this home sold.
This Podcast was brought to you by Alison Creamer: This podcast is a summary of Real Estate information for the Hampton Roads area. REIN stats show the Median Home Sale price for South-side Hampton Roads dropped again. The median sale price in Jan 2008 was 224.9 this Jan 2009 it is at 194k This is about where the levels were in 2005. My podcast is a reminder in 2005 the prices might have been lower but the rates were not. If you are a VA buyer , Military person or someone who plan on being in the area for sometime now is a great time to buy. Seller are flexible, rates are low and prices have dropped. It will be interesting to see what February numbers bring. It appears that in 08 prices dropped in February but peaked in July. I think that means if the trend happens again this is the lowest point for prices and we might expect to see a small rise in median sale prices as we go in to the summer months. Are you currently looking to buy a home in Hampton Roads ? I would like very much to talk with you about the options and trends. If you are a seller in this market you need someone who will give you the hard facts about what to expect. Its not always an easy job to deliver bad news or news we know the client does not want but this is not a time to ignore the facts. I spend a lot of time communicating what is going on. I will ensure you are aware of the market and allow you to make changes with your listing that will keep you ahead of the curve.
Still looking to buy a home ? Lets talk about it . I see tons of great buys.
