2 Months Down in 2008. How are You Doing so Far? How is your Market Doing?

By
Real Estate Agent with Weichert Realtors - Hibble & Associates

Have you looked at the calendar recently? Can you believe that it is almost March already?

With the national media still taking the baseball bat to real estate, is your market staying afloat? I was excited this afternoon when I picked up the local newspaper

The Times Tribune 

and saw NEPA House Prices Rose 7.2% last year. Finally some good press! Locally, my real estate area (mostly Lackawanna County - Scranton and Clarks Summit real estate) has not seen the national drop that many areas have seen. Regardless of the market that you are in, how are you reacting to it?

At the beginning of the year I set up 3 goals. I am gradually progressing at all of them and am seeing results too. I am learning more about the inside approach to foreclosures, my website is almost complete (still in progress), and I have been fine tuning my client database and keeping in touch with them. This is a good time to evaluate how your year is shaping up so far. If adjustments need to be made, now is the time.

Speaking to local buyers and sellers... The market is steady in Lackawanna County. If you live in the Scranton, Clarks Summit area, it is a great time to buy and sell.

I end by asking the questions I started with...

How are you doing so far this year?

How is you market doing?
