I’m very excited to announce that today I joined Grundy County’s #1 real estate office, RE/MAX Top Properties!
I am humbled by how much this team wanted me to join theirs and very much looking forward to being able to even better satisfy the needs of my buyers and sellers. Give me a little leeway on the blog here as I get it modified and myself settled into my new office!
This (and cupcakes) welcomed me to my 2nd round interview this morning

It is a tiny sample size, but I wonder if the amount of showings on properties is a tiny little indicator of a potential pickup in the real estate market. Check out these numbers:
There have been more than twice as many showing this year than last year for the same time period! That’s a 120% improvement.
Looking at an even smaller sample size, Jan. 1-6 this year vs last year, the numbers are even more astonishing: 46 showings this year vs 10 showings last year. The new year is off to a great start with showings!

Realtor Magazine had a blurb about two weeks ago about foreclosures stalling housing recovery.
DUH!
The article (linked above) contends that, “U.S. home prices may fall further under the weight of foreclosures, bouncing back no sooner than 2013 even with mortgage rates at historic lows.”
A couple blocks from me, homes that sold in the 230-250s a few years ago are selling in the 190-200 range. Foreclosure comps are coming in as low as 140s! What a mess. Hopefully, however, once the ship is righted, everyone learns from mistakes and does not repeat!
