Just curious how different markets are doing right now. Our market, the Ozarks in Missouri, has been busy with listings. Buyer traffic has been slower than last January, however, still have some buyers to choose from. I have noticed that different areas in our MLS (which covers about 16 plus counties) have had closings over the last 20 days, while Houston, Missouri, has been slower in the closing department. There are however, some pending sales that look to close in February.

Have a great day! God Bless!

Glad to hear that Florida is doing better. I am hopeful that the same incentives you mentioned above and the improvement in other markets, will help stimulate our's here. Thanks for the update. Have a prosperous 2009! God Bless!

Busy with listing, and I guess trying to get going. We didn't have speculation as bad as some but we did go up a lot in the past few years. We have been off about 5-15% on median price from the highs, depending on which town and range.

I agree wholeheartedly! We have always been slow to boom and slow to go down, which has been a huge benefit in our area! The buyers are definitely looking for bargains. Those seem to move within a few days of list. Thanks for your input. Have a great day. God Bless

The Denvermarket is firming from the bottom up. List pricews are all over the map with bank owned properties representing most of the sales. We are having a warm January and showings are up.

I'm in a small town in Arizona, about 90 minutes drive north of Phoenix. Our market is WAY slow. The listings have slowed down because the buyers are almost non-existent.

Hi Michelle,

I am a home inspector in central Massachusetts. While the total number of transactions remains on a downward spiral, I finished out 2008 with an increase of nearly 35% over 2007, and so far 2009 is beginning at an even better pace. I feel that the slow market is weeding out much of the competition and those of us who remain will be in a good position to pick up market share when things turn around.

Good luck and God bless.
