We have seen the traffic visiting open houses, coming into the office, calling asking questions about properties here in Anacortes start to pick back up this past week after two weeks of sloow movement. We all get a little nervous when the traffic flow slows down, however while I was in Business in Calif. the traffic always seemed to slow down during this time when vacations over ruled any thoughts of buying or selling homes. As we see school starts getting near, we will see the serious buyers coming back into the picture.

I know you understand this, but, The price point, location and condition (shiniest penny) of the property will dictate how long your house will be on the market for sale. I have seen the numbers increase for pendings and more sold postings for homes over the $300k point are popping up, even over the 1 mill. mark. As the quality of lower priced homes are selling, this is allowing many buyers to Buy Up into the mid priced point properties. it is still a great time to sell if you are in a position to let go of yesteryears values. We do have an in-house rental division here at JLS that can help you lease or rent your property until its time to sell if you desire.

Also Thank you for the Advice you offered, have not bought the book yet, but will do so very soon......TL - Wed Aug 19 2009, 09:54
