Hello family, friends and colleagues, Happy New Year to you all! I hope your holiday's were fabulous and all of you had a great time with family and friends. The time passes by so quickly! We had a wonderful Christmas Eve Party with about 30+ folks. We always make a game of finding the Pickle ornament (We had 319 ornaments on the tree this year) & Jill won the "Pickle Prize"-a Yodeling Pickle!! We had lots of fun with that one! It's the little things isn't it?!
In the real estate world interest rates are at HISTORIC LOWS! They are running between 4.625% and 4.875. It truly is unbelievable!! In my 21+ year career I've never seen interest rates this low! If you need a referral for a lender call me so I can steer you to a good one! Housing inventory is around 13,554 homes for sale which is down from last years high of 18,002. That's a good thing for sellers - less competition means higher home prices! We're slowly moving back to a more balanced market. When I did my annual statistics for 2008 I found 49,246 total homes had been for sale, 21,371 homes had sold in 2008 which means 43.5% of the listed homes sold. The average sale price in the Greater Columbus area is $163,813 which is a 4.4% depreciation for the year. Considering areas like Arizona, Florida & Nevada with 20%+ depreciation, we're doing really well!!
Oh, by the way, if you know anyone looking to Buy or Sell a home, just give me a call with their name and contact info and I will provide them with the same great service you have come to know from the Real Estate Aces! Did you know that 92% of my business comes by word of mouth referrals and repeat customers? Dial Darla ;-)
I've launched into the new year happy and excited. I have many thrilling things happening and I have great expectations for a prosperous, and abundant year! I hope your creative juices are flowing, your jets are revved up and you're ready to launch into new beginnings. I thank you so very much for your continued business, support and constant referrals! Stop by or contact me anytime if I can ever provide you with vendors or service providers such as painters, carpeting, roofers and the like! I hope 2009 is your best year ever!.
Real Estate Success!
