The total number of listings on the market decreased at the beginning of 2010 compared to 2009 by almost 14% brining our total inventory down to close to a 12-month supply. A balanced market only has a 5-6 month supply of homes available. And while we are clearly still in a “buyers market” the inventory numbers are starting to reflect a more balanced picture in the market.  Affordable home prices, low interest rates and the first-time home buyers tax credit has all helped reduce supply. We are actually starting to see dual offers being made on several of our listings!

We are looking to possibly move our event schedule around for 2010. Originally we planned to attend the Flowertown Festival in March and do our HomeBuyer Workshop in May. We are looking to move up the homebuyer workshop to March. We’ll keep you posted! Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Linked In, Active Rain and Twitter. As always stay safe and be blessed!
