Dave,
WSU's Real Estate Forecast study for 2008 is titled "Island Of Calm". That's it in a nutshell. 2008 is projected to be the 8th straight year of growth (from memory?). The report is several pages long with many interesting graphs, stats. WSU is out of the reports...Ambrose Team has small supply left that we can mail out by request. Homes in Wichita, Bel Aire, etc will be under contract at top dollar if positioned correctly. My biased view is that the most important factor is to consult with a local super star REALTOR. There are approx. 2000 agents in the area...in 2004 24% failed to close even one transaction! I learned this yesterday from an executive staff person at the local board. The avg agent sells 8-10 yr. a great agent 70+++ I would not hire an agent that sells less than 3 homes per month consistently (absolute minimum!!) ...with the exception of really a gung-ho rookie that you have tons of faith in due to their enthusiasm, energy, etc. and they can prove that they have a true ace as a mentor that is working closely with them. from:Katherine Ambrose,ABR,CRS,GRI ambroseteam. com at Keller Williams Realty(owner-operator) 807-5079 - Thu Mar 27 2008, 07:47
