AN URGENT MESSAGE TO ALL BUYERS

 

The simplest way to find your dream home is to call us, Bill and Nancy Oakes, experienced brokers with the city's finest real estate company, Coldwell Banker Barnes, and ask us to help you locate the perfect home for you!

Please be specific about your wants and needs. Based on your search criteria, we will then send you all homes that meet your requirements. BEAT THE COMPETITION to the best new listings, even before most Realtors know about them. Thereafter, each day all newly listed properties matching your search will be automatically e-mailed to you. You will have immediate, no obligation, free access to up-to-date listings as soon as they hit the market. All we ask in return is that you allow us to show you any of these homes that are of interest to you.

At the bottom of this page you will find a "Market Snapshot" input form which will allow you to search our MLS for area homes for sale or sold together with statistical information on area sales. We hope this tool will be both fun and helpful in your search.

Spring is traditionally the home-buying season. True to course, existing home sales rose in April with strong buyer activity. From March to April, sales jumped up 2.9%.
Who are the buyers? According to a National Association of Realtors’ survey, 60% are repeat buyers, entering the market to take advantage of the low interest rates, good inventory and more affordable prices. 40% are first-time buyers. First-time buyers as well as buyers who have rented for 3+ years also have the added incentive of an $8,000 tax credit offered by the federal government.
Where are the sales? Regionally, home sales last month rose 3.5% in the West, 11.6% in the Northeast, 1.8% in the South, and slipped 2.0% in the Midwest. According to Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the NAR, buyers today are attracted to lower priced homes found in California, Nevada, and Florida. Yun forecasts that home sales in the second half of 2009 will be 10 – 20% higher than in 2008.

National Association of Realtors predicts that hundreds of thousands of buyers will take advantage and purchase in 2009
