The importance of pricing your home to sell in the Springfield Mo Real Estate market is more important today than ever.  Bank owned properties have increased, new construction is down.  There are still many great buys on the market now.

   Here is the figures for the first 6 months of 2008 for Springfield and surrounding areas.

  Jan Feb March April May June

 Is this normal for our market?  Here's statistics for the first 6 months of 2007.

 These figures reflect the number of new listings have dropped since 2007, however, the number of sales have dropped.  In addition, the number of days on the market have increased.

Thinking of selling your home?  I'd be happy to discuss what it takes to sell a home in the Springfield market today.  Thinking of buying?  Take advantage of low interest rates and great homes to choose from.

James, blogging has helped not only to get more leads, but the referrals have been great.  Keep up the good work and you'll start seeing the difference.
