Who Said the Market is Dead?

Judy last check this country is one big land mass. Lots of markets within markets and no two the same. Small rural markets are moving tons of land, and the homes are so low cost, the quality of life is high, crime low. Many brokers like Maine are having the best year ever. And when someone starts whining about how bad it is where they peddle property..sorry but please don't make buyers nervous giving the impression like the media that it is this way everywhere. It is not. Good post.

Judy,  Sounds like fun to me!  Glad to see your market is heating up.  Setting....standing actually, an open house Saturday...Hope mine is as good as yours was!

As the Government grows (out-of-control) so do the housing needs in the same locale.  Now if only private sector jobs that actually create value were increasing.  Better enjoy the market dynamics while you can.  My guess is you just might see a reversal starting on November 2nd.

I have seen a great surge the past month as well!   Last week I got 2 offers written and accepted...and 2 of my short sales bank accepted!   I think that there are plenty of buyers out there...but we have to coax them out of the woodwork!   how exciting for the agent owner to have so much activity!!1

Hi Judy, now that was certainly not a wasted day doing an open house! Love it that you were able to write up two offers for this home. It sounds like they didn't get accepted but hopefully they will continue to use you to find the right homes for them. From the Sellers side, because their listing agent asked you to hold an open house, one would think of the 17 offers they now have accepted one. Good job! and great to hear.
