Hi Jim - you are so right about it being so important now for consumers to work with full-time professional agents with the experience and knowledge of their local market. 

There are some great mortgage programs out there for good qualified buyers, including the newly increased FHA loan limits.  I hope those spark some increased interest for buyers in your area.

Traffic has increased here a bit, but it still stinks.

So there.

Portsmouth NH Real Estate ~ Ann Cummings  This is a market that it is imperative to work with someone that knows what they are doing!

Homefinders, Real Estate in MD & VA, Lenn Harley, Broker, New & Resale Homes  We have had a very slight uptick in buyer traffic but in no way does it compare to a normal market.  For sellers it is critical to have everything perfect, and buyer better know what they are buying! 

Jim,

I feel your pain as well as my own.

Chin up and buttocks in tow, just have to work as harder than ever.

NOTE: My WebTV is really taking off. My UNIQUE viewership reached 9300 Unique visitors in March. That's my highest. Yahoooo, Yippie Ya Yea Yo.

Cheers, KIM.  The WebTV Realtor.

 C. KIM McGuire  Kim I am very impressed!  That is very high web traffic!  Way to go it really has given you a great boost!

I think the tide has started to turn. The media has stopped the Doom/Gloom and started to talk Opportunity. I had my fingers crossed for a nice juicey political scandal to help distract the media from their previous track... too little, too late I guess.

 Sarah Nopp, REALTOR(R), CRS. RE/MAX Four Seasons, Olympia WA  I think we are in a spring bounce!  It is important to close as much as possible ASAP!  We closed 2 deals this week and got another under contract!  It was a very long dry spell!
