In the Greenwood Place (single family) subdivision, there were no closed sales in 2008. 2009 was definitely another down year in real estate. Home values across the country dropped. Average days on market time has increased. 2009 was a "buyer's market" for sure. The inventory of homes increased and the number of buyers decreased significantly. It's the simple theory of supply and demand. The supply of homes was up, the demand for those homes was down. We know what happens then...prices fall. And that is what we saw. However, we have to keep in mind how active the real estate market was in 2000 through 2005. Appreciation during those years was incredible. That could not continue forever. We were definitely spoiled, but now we have come to realize that those years are gone. Back to what is more of an "normal" market. We cannot change market condition, so we must adjust to them. Hopefully with an extention of the homebuyer's tax credit through April 30,2010 we will see the 2010 real estate market start to improve. Many homeowners are experiencing great difficulty in making their mortgage payments. If you are one of these people, there is help!!! Did you know about "short sales"? A "short sale" is done by negotiating with your lender to reduce the amount to pay off your loan, resulting in the lender accepting less than what they are owed by the property owner as a full and final settlement of all amounts due. In essence, the lender pays all the costs associated with the closing of the sale and the property owner walks away debt free. This is advantageous to the lender because it is less expensive and time consuming than the lender foreclosing on the property. If this seems like an option that might be right for you, call me!
