Hello everyone, as you know (looking on your calendar) it is always my pleasure to contact you directly or indirectly and give you my 2c worth of knowledge and observation through my blog.
As I am looking outside of the window, after yet another 2 snow storm, I can not help but wonder what it is about the white stuff that keeps on falling. Do not get me wrong, I love the season- winter - and in that matter fact the 4 seasons that we can cherrish here on the seacoast but what sometimes less is more and that is exactly how I feel about our never ending winter.
ONE of the reasons is the amount of percepitation influences the amount of sales and the activity (or the lack of) on the Real Estate market.
Along with more snow, the month of first part of 2008 ushered in lower Maine Home Sales. Single-family real estate sales decreased about 25% in the past two months, compared to 2007, Median price of the sold homes had only leveled off slightly. Record or large snowfall can impact interest in searching for homes. While prices decreased overall, even thoughsome Maine Counties experienced price gains during this time period. Nationwide, real estate sales were down 22.4 percent from the same time last year, with Median price decreasing by about 5%.
I know that it will change very quickly here and we are going to have a beautiful spring with lot of potential/willing and motivated buyers on our hands.
I cant wait. It will happen and it is only my proactive responsibility to be ready for all of those buyers on call that are going to be popping in at no-time here.
Take Care and I hope you are making sure to grow your already prosperring business.
