This past year has been a challenge for a lot of people, and certainly the real estate industry was one of the hardest hit. Sellers have had a tough time finding enough good buyers to generate reasonable offers - if any - on their homes, and so quite a few of them have decided to hold off for awhile until the dust settles.
Agents have left the industry in droves, with many of them not able to make enough money to even cover their expenses, let alone support their families and have any fun money left over. So...what will be next?
I'm optimistic about 2009. Our page views have shot through the roof on our website since the day after Christmas, and that means there are waterfront buyers out there starting to look already. That is generally what happens after a slow market like the one last year. And the 2009 sales may speed up even more quickly because of the low interest rates!
At the same time, we are making several changes to our overall marketing plan for our listings. In an attempt to make sure we find every possible buyer out there for our listings, we have created several new concepts that are proving quite interesting.
You will be seeing some of these on our website in the days ahead. But, if you're thinking of selling fairly soon, feel free to contact us for more information on how you can benefit from some of these cutting edge ideas.
Remember...the spring market starts way before spring. So don't let it pass you by!
