RE/MAX Realtor Karen Church, www.eugenehomesgal.com , reports that the number of buyers looking for new homes has picked up in Eugene, Oregon and around Lane County. Her observations come from the traffic she observes coming though her recent open houses in Danebo, East Eugene, Ferry Street Bridge, and South Eugene.
"I have held four open house's in the last two weeks with home prices varying from $250,000 to $825, 0000. The traffic coming through has been spectacular! Each home has had an average of a dozen or so people come through. This is up from the winter months when there were only three or four buyers in a three hour period. I am happy to see that people are again out looking for homes. Buyers are in various stages of the home buying process. Many are "just looking" and beginning their search, while others are pre approved for a home loan and are ready to buy. I believe that a combination of President Obama's $8000 tax reimbursement and low interest rates are enticing buyers to venture out and begin again to look. This is an optimistic view of the housing market from this realtor's perspective. With so much doom and gloom in the media, I am pleased to see that buyers are gaining confidence and understanding that now is really the time to buy.
"No matter what stage of buying or selling you are in, I encourage you to get out there and come to open houses. I look forward to talking with you as you visit the wonderful homes I have to show."
