Springfield New Construction Homes - The Shortage Will Bring Demand! When the housing market bubble burst, builders were left with many unfinished homes in the Springfield Real Estate market. A large marjority of home builders quit building. Banks tightened their lending and builders had to stop construction.
In the Springfield area, there are very few new homes......less than a 100. We saw the shortage start in 2009. 2010 will most likely bring a demand for new homes.

Stop And Thank Your Team Members For A Great 2009!
Selling real estate today has become a challenge. Homeowners want to buy and close quickly to take advantage of the Government Stimulus Package. But delays occur, without blame to any of the parties. It takes Team Work to successfully close real estate sales.
Buyers must work with the lenders to insure the paperwork is completed prior to the closing date. Any delays could result in the offer being extended of falling through. Title companies must research the title to insure the title will pass without flaws to the new buyer. The Seller must schedule … (0 comments)

Winter Energy Saving Tips - Springfield Mo Real Estate News Looks like we are in for our first snow storm the next few days. My hubby hauled in wood to keep dry, in the event our power goes off, bought extra fuel for the generator and nestled down for a few days of winter weather.
When we built our home in 1997, our electric coop gave us extra funds if we upgraded to save energy over the life of the home. We installed a Kozy Heat Fireplace, added extra insulation, including the floor and installed a heat pump with a back-up propane unit. What … (0 comments)

Are You Asking For Referrals from your clients? Normally, I do when I'm growing my Springfield referral base. It's one of the best ways to increase your business and obtain new leads. I also have " We Love Referrals" on our business cards.
One of my clients unexpectedly stopped by the office today to check on his contract. He is closing in a week and just wanted to be reassured his home was closing. He was referred to me last year, from a client that was moving to Ohio.

Another Springfield Short Sale Successfully Closed!
Springfield is slowly beginning to accept short sales as an alternative to foreclosure. And with the large number of homeowners still in need of saving their homes, word isn't spreading fast enough.
This home was a little difficult to sell. The tenant refused to allow the home to be shown. After finally getting him to evacuate the home, we quickly received an offer.
However, the bank decided to start the foreclosure process and the day of foreclosure, we were able to get it postponed.
With the patience of great buyers, … (6 comments)

Marketing Springfield Mo Homes For Sale During The Holidays - You're The Smart Ones!
Springfield real estate always slows during the holidays and most sellers don't want to be bothered having their homes shown or moving. But this year, with the government incentive programs available, this may be the best winter ever.
Instead of taking your home off the market, leave it on. Take advantage of the smaller inventory. Buyers will continue to look for the best homes a the best prices. Foreclosures and short sales will continue to be the most popular home, so make yours as appealing.

- 11/23/09 11:19 PM
The real estate market usually slows down during the holidays, but this year, I'm seeing a change. Not sure what is causing it......possibly the tax incentive with buyers wanting to take advantage. Kristi has some great points on why sellers should list during the holidays.
This is the time of year when a lot of people will take their homes off the market. While that may be a good strategy for some, I am going to share why it is beneficial to list your home over the holidays:
