The figures are for sales of single family homes in Madison in quarters, homes priced between $100,000 and $500,000    

Notice how number of home sales are down, days on Market are up, so homes are taking longer.  Average prices are down too.  With an exception that West stats improved in early 2007.   One thing, these stats can not give us a trend for this year. Even the latest figures take into 4 month old data.   

At the time of writing, I have a very rosy view of things.  Real Estate Guy Team has just come off the busiest time ever.  Bev, our buyer agent is working overtime, as usual.  Jen is settling in to her role as Head assistant, very busy on 40 hours, and Guy is also very busy.  The team put together 12 sales in April alone.  We are finding well priced listings are selling. 

We are receiving great feedback from our photos and internet marketing.    Just tonight, after receiving an accepted offer in Cottage Grove, the seller said.  "You have been wonderful. Your internet marketing has produced more activity in just 2 weeks than the last 2 Realtors"

Jim, said last week after I bought him 3 offers on the same home. "You have exceeded my expectations.  I will have no hesitation to refer you to my friends"

As Jen has discovered what we do to market our listings, Jen has regularly exclaimed, "My Realtor never did this"  

Another sign that things are getting busy are the number of multiple offers occurring.  Also the inspectors are getting booked up further out.  So things are good.  If you need to sell, call us and we will get you moving.
