Sales Are Up Again

I don't know about you but every where I go I see that sales are up. I was just at lunch at Wild Wings and on the News they had in background it said housing sales were up 10% and that builders were having their first profitable quarters in years with housing stocks going crazy on the news.

I got back to my computer and low and behold the stats are out for our market, in Charleston sales for December 2009 were up 30% over December 2008 !! YEAH !!

And Other Headlines over past few months read "October 2009: Sales Up 31%", "September 2009: Residential Sales Increase 7%", "August 2009: Residential Market Reflects End Of An Active Summer Season", "July 2009: Residential Real Estate Sales Increase 4% From One Year Ago", etc.

Do you see the trend ??

It is just like in 2006 and 2007 when all they talked about in the media was the housing bubble and mortgage defaults in 2007 and 2008, well NOW in 2009 they started going positive and you can really see the numbers and feel the activity. The market is now alive and well, yes prices are down and there are foreclosures and short sales to contend with but with rates at all time lows you could not ask for a better combination to make it the "BEST TIME TO BUY EVER"

So call me or a member of my team today at RE/MAX where our sales were up 48 % in 2009 over 2008 and in the last quarter of 2009 we were up over 200% over the last quarter of 2008.

You can reach me at 843-270-6455 or my team at 843-330-2500 anytime or visit www.DavidWertan.com and buy now so you don't look back and say "Oh, I wish I would have bought ....... "

David is right. I am hearing that sales are up, too. Home staging is a great way to move up to a new home a lot quicker. A staged home typically sells faster than a non-staged home. I just finished a project staging a home in West Ashley that sold fast. Then we also did move-in decorating for my client. Now is the time to buy and sell. For staging or move-in services, go to www.acharlestonhouse.com. or call me at 843-327-8922. Cynthia Pulsifer
