Well the latest stats are out and the big Big BIG news is that sales are down from record levels…. not just a little but a lot.  Try 42.9%.  All the while listings are up almost 19%.
Sadly, the board likes to highlight “bright spots” and this month they really had to stretch to find one.  […]

No surprise to read a report that the trend continues. Sales down a few percent. Listings up. Way way up! Prices still moderate. But again, these are average prices and do not in any way reflect what is actually happening out there. People may be spending the same amount […]

I think it’s become apparent to all that we are in a balanced market. What does that mean? Well, it means that after years of sellers calling the shots the buyers are now becoming more in control. Two parties can sit down across from each other and neither is going to dictate […]

Well the numbers are out and they continue the trend we’ve been seeing. Listings up and sales down. Prices have continued to slow their growth but have not gone negative. This can only be expected as the number of listings increase.

The statistics are out and the numbers are…. drum roll please… mixed! Listings are up. Sales are down. None of this is a surprise if you have been following the weekly numbers here on AgentWill.com. While a lot of properties are not selling I can tell you that just yesterday a […]

               
Selling a home is not like selling a common commodity.  One ounce of gold is equal to another.  One new Ford F150 fully loaded is equal to another.  One loaf of Wonderbread is equal to another.  This is not the case with homes.  You may argue that one new condo is very similar to […]

There is a key statistic that many of us pay attention to and one that any good realtor should be making you aware of.  That number is the Sales/Listings ratio.
In a really hot month in the past this number often approached or exceeded 100%.  This meant that the number of properties sold were almost equal […]
