Houses are selling! Don't miss this market!

Services for Real Estate Pros

There has been an increase in business since the election.  I am not sure what that had to do with people not buying homes, or having confidence now to buy.  But I can tell you I have had more appointments with buyers in the past few weeks than in the past few months.

I have seen more accepted offers in the MLS (multiple listing service) than I have seen in a long time.  So don't miss a great time to buy.  Call today to see what is available to you.

This could be the beginning of the market picking up.  If you have been waiting for the "best" time to buy, this may be it! 

Inventory is at an all - time high.  You can select the property you really want.  You have more to choose form than I have seen in my 20+ year career in real estate.

Prices are stable.  Wisconsin was not hit by the large increases in equity, so there was no "great" fall back to values.  Now prices are lower in many areas than they were at the "peak" of the market  don't get me wrong.... What I want to say is there won't be and hasn't been a drastic fall in property values like we've seen on the coasts.

Real Estate is cyclical.  The coasts have been up and down, great increases and great falls.  Thank goodness we in the midwest have not had to weather that storm.

There are special tax benefits to owning.  In addition to the savings you'll receive by having deductions for your mortgage interest and real estate taxes that you pay you may be eligible for the $7500 Tax Credit for first time buyers.  (or an owner that hasn't had a property in 3 years).

I've seen an increase in business myself since the election is over. I think people just needed to settle their nerves after screaming at their neighbors for the past 6 months over who would be the next president.

JL - Things did get very tense around here the last 2 months before the 11/4.  I'm glad we can all move on.  You couldn't pay me enough for that job!

Hi April,  It got a little quiet for me, only because I closed most of my escrows in November but I do sense that it is picking up here too!  Good luck!

April ~ we had a fabulous November in our office and things are still moving in December, slow but typical for December.

Cristal, I'm glad it seems to be picking up by you. I know if I close quite a bit one month, the next may be a little quieter.

Kathy, Decembers do tend to be slower. People are busy with the holidays, time off with families and all. This year has picked up and slowed down at odd times. December is staying really active for me.
