springfield: Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for March 2012 - 04/08/12 07:12 PM
Below is the Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for March 2012.  As with the surrounding communities, Springfield is showing signs of market activity increases in nearly every price range.  Looking at the 3 month comparison, home sales are nearly doubling in homes priced between $50-300K.  This is the most activity we have seen since the first-time homebuyer's tax credit, and I expect to see some very healthy numbers for April.  It's a great time to list your home as inventory is down from last Fall.

springfield: Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report - November 2011 - 12/01/11 10:35 PM
Below is the Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for November 2011. The market has slowed down in terms of number of homes sold in most price categories.  Additionally, the number of homes still on the market has decreased significantly.  Many homeowners who do not HAVE to sell are withdrawing their homes from the market because of the holidays.  The number of home sales has not declined as much as the number of homes withdrawn off the market.  This means it is a good time to sell a home.  There is less competition which means you have a greater chance of selling.

Interesting Statistics Regarding Springfield MO Area REALTORS®    
Anyone who knows me knows that I am a numbers geek.  Each month, I export all of the data from the Greater Springfield Board of REALTORS® Multiple Listing System.  This month, I noticed some interesting things:

springfield: Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report - September 2011 - 10/05/11 11:47 PM
Below is the Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for September 2011. The market is consistently showing signs of improvement in every price category, with the exception of homes priced from $300-350K, and $400-450K.  The one deterring factor that is becoming glaringly obvious is the number of homes going under contract versus the number of homes actually closing.  This is due to a variety of reasons such as inability to sustain financing, home conditions failing to pass inspections, and the overall reluctance of buyers to commit.

MaKenna and Brock - "The X Factor" Springfield, Missouri's Own Unrequited Love Story


Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a sucker for a love story.  I'm also addicted to "The X Factor."  Just give me some french onion chip dip, my favorite pajamas, a quiet room, a boxes of Kleenex, turn on "The X Factor," and I'm in heaven.  I don't know what it is about that show, but I get so emotional watching people overcome their fears, go out on stage and really just blow everyone away....including themselves.I was even more excited when I saw MaKenna … (4 comments)

springfield: Springfield MO Real Estate Market - Average Sales Price - 2010 v. 2011 - 09/23/11 08:18 PM
Someone asked me today if the average sales price has gone down this year over last year.  I wasn't sure, so I pulled the data from the MLS and prepared the chart below.
Basically, there is no rhyme or reason to the average sales prices over the past couple of years.  If you factor in the First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit of last year, you can see that the average sales price naturally dropped during that period of time, which is undoubtedly due to the average sales price of that particular buyer.  However, that correlation doesn't explain this year's drop in sales … (1 comments)

springfield: Greater Springfield MO Area New Construction Home Sales - 2010 v. 2011 - 09/21/11 11:57 PM
Greater Springfield MO New Construction Home SalesThe Greater Springfield, MO, area has been the fastest growing area in the State of Missouri for the past 10 years.  With the downturn of the real estate market, new construction was the first segment of the market to be affected.  Most builders stopped completely.  Others tried to continue on, but were caught in the continued downturn and eventually went bankrupt.  Those builders that survived continue to build, but not at the rapid pace of the real estate boom from 2003 to 2006.  It is becoming increasingly more difficult to find a new construction home, … (3 comments)

springfield: Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report - July 2011 - 08/03/11 11:44 PM
Below is the Springfield MO Real Estate Market Report for July 2011. The market really did a flip-flop this month.  Home sales from $100-150K were up this month, contrary to last month, while sales were WAY down for homes priced over $200K.  The good news is there are a lot of homes under contract priced over $200K, so we can expect to see those numbers really climb in the next 30-60 days.

springfield: New Logo, New Photos - Affordable Real Estate Branding and Marketing - 07/27/11 09:57 AM
I've never really liked my professional photos, and I've never had a logo.  I always wanted a logo, but figured it would cost a small fortune to have one professionally made for me.  Not many agents in our area have a logo, and the ones that I do see around here are typically pretty cheesy.

In the last year, I've hired a buyer's agent and a secretary/home stager, and gotten married.  I figured it was time to revamp my marketing materials.  My first call was to Joshua Hill at Slingshot Creative.  Josh is a graphic designer, specializing in web … (22 comments)
