Real Estate Professionals Loudly Proclaim: Real Estate Market Is Back!!

Courtney - You should be good to go now.

we are seeing this in our market too!

Including the Baja Real estate area, which we also serve...

Hope all keeps going like we think!

We are coming out of a severe recession. In every single case in the past, real estate has recovered quickly once a recession has passed. Why would this time be any different?

While there may be isolated areas that are not recovering due to unusual circumstances, most of the country is experiencing a rebound in prices.

Inventories are reportedly low and buyers are out there looking for loans. It does not take a rocket scientist to recognize the trend, but there are many media types who are taking a lot of credit for pointing this out.

Where were all these people two years ago when there was only a slight risk of being wrong?

Hey Thomas,

ActiveRain actually called in early 2012 (based on a survey in November 2011).  Here are the results at our 2012 Real Estate Recovery or Not blog post at www.activerain.com/real-estate-values

Is always good to have great and inspiring messages like this... Today is Friday and give us a new breath to go get more business!!!

Since the market had been clean from those "occasional Realtors",  the sales force now seems real as the new transactions... This couldn't be better!!

Thanks and good luck to everyone!!!

I agree. I think it has been bouncing back in the last year and I have people asking me how to get in the business. A sure sign!

Good post using all the current features to get the word out. Thank you. I agree this is going to be a great year for Realtors and those working in the real estate industry.

We receive emails from the KCM blog and were pleasantly surprised they were "sharing" this infographic with your permission. Way to go Active Rain!!

Thanks for sharing this information.in our neighborhood the market here is stable and we are now looking for inventory for our buyers. 

This is encouraging news, indeed. Lack of inventory in our area is holding down numbers of transactions, but s-l-o-w-l-y that might be changing -- too early to know for sure.

that is one very positive report.  It is great to see that the country as a whole is seeing and feeling the same trends.

Great information to share.  Thank you, for putting information and graphics together. This is going to be a great year!

Great graphic, sometimes the thing that the economy needs the most is just a little confidence to get people to do something, the confidence that this reflects should be spread near and far to get people to start listing and buying homes and other things that they have been holding off on buying.

Here's to 2013!  Thank you for your wonderful work and graphics.  I see there are no East Coast towns on the rebound. . . that's a bit of a disappointment, but we'll see! I'm feeling optimistic!

This is a good graphic. Still, predictions don't make reality. Some spots are hot, to be sure, and I surely hope this all plays out just as predicted. The Fed has pledged to keep bank rates low. Inventories are low. So the data and the hot markets are fueling justified optimism. Still, multiply these two numbers: lower inventories (less to sell) and, through January, NAR reports that year-over-year sales prices are up 0.8% nationally. 

This is a great graphic, will definitely be using....can't wait to see the graphic regarding lenders or at least the survey results from the recent mortage survey.

Hi Kerrie,

I have tried 3-4 times and just get the error box when I add it to my post. I do not see it in anyone else's posts either?

Hi Kerrie,

Just did a "Recovery of Real Estate" and used your embedded code. Yes it worked just fine now. Thanks for giving us this data to post on our blogs. Horray, real estate is coming back.

This is what is happening in tampa as well, prices are up and it is a seller's market for sure!

I just finished the 2Q survey - As a predictor it will be an interesting tool.  Happy Sales everyone!
