At our office meeting on Tuesday we had a visit from Gordon Gundaker, the man who started our company. He told the same stories that he always tells, year after year. The interesting thing was the page of statistics that they handed out during the meeting.
In January of this year, our office sold 67 homes. January of last year had only 43 homes sold. In fact the amount of homes we sold this January is more than were sold during any month of last year. The highest amount last year was 66 homes sold in April. We also listed 56 homes in the month of January compared to 28 listings in January 2006. Once again that is higher than any month last year, the highest last year was 52 homes listed in August of 2006.
In February of this year we sold 60 homes, compared to 38 homes sold January 2006.
I think the large increase in sales is due to all of the people who held off buying in the fall. Most of that was caused due to the media reporting how bad the market was. It became a self fulfilling prophecy. This year has been my best start in the six years I have been selling real estate, and I am expecting it to stay that way.
