Market Statistics for July 2010 Eastern Panhandle WV

 

The numbers are out for July 2010.  As predicted, they are down from what they were when the first time home buyers and "repeat buyers" were earning tax credit by being ratified 4/30/10 and closing by 6/30/10.  The closing deadline has been extended to 9/30/10, but only for those existing contracts - didn't open any new windows for anyone. 

Interest rates are at historic lows and seem to be holding steady.  And prices are SO affordable for so many - hopefully potential buyers will realize it's still a GREAT time to buy!

Predictions still stand strong that the wave of foreclosures and short sales will continue...making it a GREAT time to buy!  Interest rates have come down even further to help boost the housing market. 

If you, your family, or friends are considering buying a home - I'd be honored to help!  Contact me anytime at 304-261-8517.

December Market Statistics

The market statistics just came out for December 2009.  Average and Median prices are still going down for Berkeley and Jefferson Counties – but up in Morgan County.  Number of days on market are better in Berkeley and Jefferson, but due to a lot of foreclosures priced so well they get multiple offers the first week out.  Reminder that 6 months of inventory means we are entering into a Sellers market – not there yet, but down considerably from early this year.  See numbers below for more info - and to reinforce what we've been saying  “IT'S A GREAT TIME TO BE A BUYER!!!”
