Who says the real estate market in El Paso is bad? This week I have been working with 3 buyers- 2 from out of town and one in town buyer.

The first buyer is a military doctor being transferred to Ft Bliss from Hawaii-that must have been a shock!

He was going to rent but decided that he could have a mortgage payment close to what he would have paid in rent and bought a brand new home and we should close (with a local lender) by the end of the month.

The second couple is moving from the east part of the state and decided that living in El Paso close to family was important to them. They will be back next week becasue the hubby got called back into work and they had to go back home for a few days.

The 3rd couple lives in El Paso already and does not have to sell thier home first so they are ready. They made a great offer on an over priced home (not my listing) and the seller would not come to terms with his over priced listing so I guess it will just have to sit awhile longer (he was a for sale by owner before and just doe not get the picture yet). My buyers will build what they want now and we will meet with a builder on Friday.

Great week so far
