Such GOOD news! What will really make a difference in the next six months is that New Listings are down; a downturn trend in this area will really help prices move upward. Just last week I had my first "Multiple offer" situation since 2006! Now that really speaks volumes.

This is a busy time, back to school and fall on the way but I love this time of year and have always been busy in real estate during the fall and winter!

The air is crisp and fresh in New Mexico this time of year, the leaves are starting to change, hot air balloons are in the sky and the smell green chili roasting....mmmm...who would want to "live" anywhere else?

This is fantastic news! A 12.69% rise in pending sales from July 2009 means people are buying consistently in our area. In our business on Albuquerque's West Side, we have seen a great increase in activity on all of our listings, regardless of size, condition or price. As a matter of fact, every listing we had under $200,000 received an offer in July or August! This tells us the First Time Buyer Tax Credit is really getting people off the couch that may not have been so motivated this summer. Let's keep it going! Spread the word to everyone you know that rents and tell them to contact a mortgage banker or broker and give them the name of your Realtor to get the process started. The deadline to get pre-qualified and shop for a house is October 1st so there is no time to waste!

The statistics for August are encouraging. Maybe we shouldn't start dancing in the streets just yet, but the figures are unambiguous about the trend of market.
