brenda mayette: Real Estate & Realistic Expectations...
- 06/20/19 05:17 AM
Nearly daily, I seem to be having a conversation with people about the horrors of their home buying experience. I think back on ours too (which happened long before my career started in real estate) and can only think of one word: YIKES!
I can't believe the risks we took and the "professionals" that we enlisted to help us reach our goal. Luckily (& it WAS luck because the skill profile was lacking across the board!!!), it all worked out but... WOW!!!

brenda mayette: 2018 Real Estate Review: NY's Capital Region
- 01/09/19 01:02 PM
2018 was a VERY interesting year for real estate in New York State's Capital Region. Low inventory, motivated buyers & low interest rates drove market activity for the first 2 quarters were multiple offers were the norm and sale prices that were higher than asking price were commonplace too.
With a slight uptick in interest rates, ongoing low inventory & worn-out buyers, conditions seemed to cool off a bit in the last half of the year. This cool off however, was really a return to typical market conditions.
SO.... how did the year look by the numbers?* Here you go:
